Contribution to academic movement #flyingless
In May 2019, we decided to act upon our research concerns and drive to a meeting of the Resilience Alliance in Helen, Georgia (USA) instead of flying. The McGill Office for Sustainability put a little clip together to kick-off their #BecauseIDidntFly campaign.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Participatory Scenario Planning in the North
Our Future - Hivunikhavut

Picture

​
This
project, led by Marianne Falardeau as part of her PhD research, explored potential futures of a rapidly changing marine region of the Canadian Arctic. Scenario development combined a traditional scenario planning approach called "axes of uncertainty" with positive visioning inspired by Arctic seeds of good anthropocenes. The participatory scenario workshop brought together Inuit community members, managers and scientists to co-produce scenarios.

Read the report to learn more about the scenarios and the approach used to develop them:

Pathways to improving people-nature relationships in Bristol and Pontiac, Quebec

This research project worked to improve understanding of the many ways people currently benefit from nature (e.g. clean air, hiking, hunting, sense of place, etc.), how they would ideally like to benefit from nature in the future, and how exploring that with community members can inform management of multifunctional landscapes that achieves improved people-nature relationships. 

In the fall of 2018, we publicly released a survey on this topic for people who live in the municipalities of Bristol and Pontiac, in the province of Quebec, Canada. You can check out a poster that talks about some of the survey findings here (aussi disponible en Français). 
In February 2019 we organized a participatory workshop that brought together community members and relevant stakeholders to brainstorm ideas for actions that could be taken to improve people nature relationships. Find out more about our process and project outcomes in this report. ​
