The first “Winter School” has officially started! 🍀 It’s located at the Highland Institute in Kohima. Empowering change in highland Asia! 🌏 The Highland Institute, founded in 2013, delves into critical issues: socio-political, cultural, historical, environmental, and developmental. As a registered trust, they collaborate globally, conducting research, analysis, and sharing insights in academic symposia and peer-reviewed publications. 💡

Ekologos had a blast at the Panorama Seminar 2023 🎓 hosted by HK-dir & University of Oslo! Dived deep into academic collaborations with countries from the Panorama Strategy.

Shoutout to the inspiring discussions on opportunities & challenges with Canada, Brazil, India, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, and the USA. 🌏💡

Fiquei muito feliz por finalmente ter essas pessoas incríveis em meu escritório. Agora começa o trabalho!

From Brazil to Norway, and from Norway to India - our first Ekologos exchange students have arrived, ready to explore, learn, and make a global impact! 🌍✈️ Let the cross-cultural adventure begin! 🌟🇧🇷🇳🇴🇮🇳

This Wednesday, we had the immense privilege to host Prof Luiz Marques at the Mandela Auditorium, Centre for Peace Studies / Nedre Lysthus, UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

In a lecture titled “The Imminence of Crossing Tipping Points in the Amazon Rainforest: The Decisive Decade”, Prof Marques, from the State University of Campinas, Brazil (UNICAMP), graced us with his insights into the pressing issues facing the world's largest tropical rainforest - the Amazon.

Prof Marques tactfully navigated us through the current critical scenarios:

1. The possible surpassing of critical tipping points in the most degraded regions of the Amazon.
2. The precarious proximity of the healthier regions to this decisive threshold.

As we navigate this crucial decade, understanding the implications of these tipping points becomes vital for shaping informed decisions, not just at a regional level but also on a global scale. The health of the Amazon is intricately tied to the world's ecological equilibrium, making this a discussion of paramount importance.

Join us in this enlightening journey as we work together to grasp and address the pivotal challenges of our time. Your engagement is not just welcome, but necessary.
