Launching Joint Research center: Environmental and Natural Resource Research Center in East Africa
&
International Conference on Sustainable Environmental and Natural Resource Management (ISENRM, 2016)
Theme: Responsible Research and Innovation in Environmental sustainability.
Concept note and Call for papers

To date, the world population is facing serious environmental problems. These problems, such as water and air pollution, generation of solid and hazardous waste, soil degradation, deforestation, climate change and loss of biodiversity does not recognize political borders and pose major threats to human safety, health and productivity. Due to these threats to human future, it is essential to address these problems.
It is obvious that finding solutions for environmental problems that we are facing have become very important. Environmental problems, which may have global impacts, are complex and often interrelated with socio-economic factors. In our times, it is widely recognized that the economic and social development depends on the protection of the environment and reduction of the human impact. One of the important dimensions of the efforts for environmental protection is raising public awareness and participation. The problems can only be properly addressed through cooperation among public sector, Leaders, Experts, Scholars, non-governmental organizations and the civil society. Furthermore, the people are to thrive in a sustainable and equitable world so as to support transformations towards sustainability. There is a need to build and connect knowledge to increase the impact of research, to explore new development paths, and to find new ways to accelerate transitions to sustainable development.
Given that addressing the global environmental problems that threaten our living planet requires national efforts as well as international collaboration on both bilateral and multilateral level and the active participation of all members of the international community, UNILAK has partnered with Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese academy of Sciences, to join hands together by organizing a series of international conferences both in Rwanda and China since 2013 so as to raise awareness on environmental issues requiring a collective engagement of all stake holders.
It is now time to establish a joint research centre named” Environmental and Natural resource research center in East Africa” to be based at UNILAK .
This centre will embark on Responsible research and innovation in environmental sustainability. Several studies are expected to ensure proper community meeting on resource and services needs of current and future generations without compromising the health of the ecosystems that provide them, and more specifically, as a condition of balance, resilience, and interconnectedness that allows human society to satisfy its needs while neither exceeding the capacity of its supporting ecosystems to continue to regenerate the services necessary to meet those needs nor by our actions diminishing biological diversity.
This joint research centre will ensure that Responsible research and innovation implies that societal actors (researchers, citizens, policy makers, business, third sector organizations, etc.) work together during the whole research and innovation process in order to better align both the process and its outcomes with the values, needs and expectations of society.
Then, this centre is committed to research, dissemination and application of techniques at all scales by availing an opportunity to further learn how to adapt to changing circumstances and build community-level resilience to environmental stressors such as climate change and natural hazards.
This joint research centre will carry out sustainable natural resources through collaborative integrated research, providing advice and building capacity by participatory and sustainable natural resources management. More emphasis on investigating new research opportunities in natural resource management by addressing emerging local issues while maintaining a national and international profile through linkages with appropriate partners.
The centre researchers “sustainability scientists” are not just generators of knowledge but also as knowledge brokers and change agents so as to properly address environmental problems and then meeting community aspirations.
As the official launching will take place at UNILAK premises dedicated to carry out related research for the centre on 15 November 2016, we are pleased to call for papers for this International conference on sustainable environmental and natural resource management on 15-16 November 2016. In this international conference, knowledge and experiences on mainstreaming Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management (INREM) in sustainable manner will be shared among academics, researchers, and practitioners in environment and natural resources management.
Objectives of the Conference:
Facilitate sharing of ideas and experiences on INREM among stakeholders
Establish a network among INREM stakeholders committed to contribute in the East African region.
Brainstorming priorities actions to be considered by the centre so as to set tones onto practical solutions in environment and natural resources management.
