SUMMARY:YSI @ COP30 Brazil
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is to convene Member Countries every year to determine ambition and responsibilities and identify and assess climate measures. This year is 10 years after the 21st session of the COP (COP21) led to the Paris Agreement\, which mobilized global collective action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels at the latest by the end of the century by achieving net zero emission by 2050 at the latest and to act to adapt to the already existing effects of climate change. \nThis year\, COP30 will be held from November 10 until November 21\, 2025\, in Belem\, Brazil. \nThe present project follows the success of the second edition of the “YSI COP for the UN Rio Convention” Workshop recently held in Bonn where YSI participants engaged in a two-days workshop of simulation on negotiations and sessions with the UNCCD Staff. This led us to engage in the process and join COP30\, where we will have the opportunity to share our first-hand experience with the YSI community. \nAs part of the project\, we would like to invite you to join us for two webinars: one during COP30 for an open Q&A session\, and one after COP30 for a debrief. \n\nWebinar from COP30\nJoin us online on Saturday\, 15th November\, at 3 PM Brazil Time (7 PM CET) for an open Q&A session. Raisul Millat Safkat and Maria Virginia Solis Wahnish\, who are YSI members present at COP30\, will share their experiences and answer questions from participants. Everyone is invited to join! \nZoom link: https://youngscholarsinitiative.zoom.us/j/89423120629?pwd=8IZGSFrOi3BNbaeVGmewlgZ3KaYCuJ.1 \nMeeting ID: 894 2312 0629\nAccess Code: 977433 \n\nWebinar after COP30\nTitle: Beyond COP30: Reflections from Negotiators and Civil Society Voices \nThis webinar\, organized by the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, invites young scholars and practitioners to reflect on the outcomes of COP30 through the perspectives of negotiators and civil society actors. Bringing together insights from the negotiating table and grassroots engagement\, the discussion will explore key achievements\, unresolved tensions\, and lessons for future climate governance. With contributions from speakers including Jocabed Reina Solano Miselis\, the session aims to foster critical dialogue on inclusivity\, ambition\, and accountability in the UNFCCC process\, while highlighting the role of youth and early-career researchers within the YSI community in shaping the next phase of climate action. \nWhen? Monday 19th of January at 4 PM CET. \nZoom Recording: https://youngscholarsinitiative.zoom.us/rec/share/fF4-Y2Me79_Ii9WsVj4CePxsw56b0KmNvEXyMCLrnkXfx6zbi84qNZaS8RFzNdRa.BbwzgLLza4F56pzR

SUMMARY:YSI-RSA Webinar Series on Regional Inequalities and Perceived Left-Behindness
DESCRIPTION:The YSI Urban and Regional Economics\, and Behavior and Society Working Groups\, in partnership with the Regional Studies Association (RSA) invite students\, early scholars and all members to join the Webinar Series on Regional Inequalities and Perceived Left-Behindness. \n  \nThe objective is to explore the growing relevance of perceived left-behindness and subjective well-being in economics. Over four sessions\, we will delve into how feelings of relative deprivation\, spatial inequalities\, and socio-economic discontent are reshaping regional trajectories and influencing economic outcomes. By bringing together scholars working at the intersection of perception\, well-being\, and place\, the series aims to foster a deeper understanding of how these dimensions can enrich regional analysis\, inform policy\, and ultimately contribute to more inclusive territorial development. \n  \n4) November 12\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Policy\, Perception and Place: Rethinking Regional Development Strategies (Malin Roiha & Emma Fàbrega – European Social Research Unit & University of Barcelona\, Spain) \nConcluding the series\, this webinar will focus on how subjective indicators and local perceptions can be better integrated into policy-making. We’ll explore innovative approaches and the challenges of designing place-sensitive strategies that address both material and perceived inequalities. \n  \nPrevious sessions: \n  \n1) July 16\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Subjective well-being and spatial inequalities (Paolo Veneri – GSSI\, Italy) \nThe literature from the last decade has highlighted the paradox of urban well-being\, where cities offer economic advantages at a cost to residents’ life satisfaction. However\, this is not true everywhere. This webinar focuses on subjective well-being spatial differences and on the factors driving those differences. After accounting for observable individual characteristics\, evidence on the urban-rural gap in life satisfaction is provided across different world regions\, together with the factors associated with such gaps. Subsequently\, focusing on European cities\, we review how individual and city characteristics drive observed differences in life satisfaction\, drawing on novel empirical analysis and on the most recent contributions in the literature. \n  \n2) September 16\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Spatial imaginaries of ‘left behind places’ in policy discourse (Grete Gansauer – University of Wyoming\, US) \nThe “left behind place” is an emerging spatial imaginary which evokes an idealized set of social\, economic and political conditions assigned to a generalized type of place. This session will untangle how left-behindness is imagined and explore how spatial imaginaries manifest themselves in different regional and political discources. We’ll examine the roots of such perceptions\, their links to territorial inequalities\, and offer empirical insights into how spatial imaginaries of ‘left behind places’ shape regional development trajectories. \n  \n3) October 15\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Electoral outcomes as a form of discontent (Arndt Leininger – Chemnitz University of Technology\, Germany) \nThis session explores how electoral results can reflect underlying socio-economic and territorial discontent. Drawing on recent research\, the discussion will examine how votes for populist\, extremist\, or anti-establishment parties often signal perceived inequalities\, loss of status\, and a sense of being “left behind” among certain groups and regions. \n
