2013 Tokyo Conference – Call for Documentary Projects

A special feature at the Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference 2013 is the first ever Earth System Governance Documentary Project.

The purpose of the documentary project is to provide an additional method of information dissemination and idea sharing at Earth System Governance Conferences. We invite researchers, institutions and filmmakers to become involved in this project by submitting short documentaries, of 3 to 15 minutes, which reflect one of the conference themes and highlights their work.

The six conference themes include:

1. Earth System Governance Architectures in the 21st Century
2. Climate and Energy Governance Architectures
3. The Nexus between Architecture and the other “A’s” in Earth System Governance
4. Political Dynamics in the Interface of Agency and Architecture
5. Methodological Challenges to Complex Architectures and Multiple Agents
6. Special Conference Stream on Nuclear Safety and Post-disaster Governance

The Earth System Governance Scientific Steering Committee will review the documentaries and select the top documentaries to be screened at the Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference. Selected documentaries will be presented at the Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference with a panel discussion following the screening.

We are working hard to provide funding for selected documentarians, please check the website regularly for updates about this documentary project.
