Project coordenated by IRD and co-coordinated by CIRAD The project leading to this application has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme www.odyssea-amazonia.org - [email protected] under the Marie Skłodowska- Curie grant agreement No 691053 Towards an Observatory Based on the results of past and current projects, our objective is to propose an interdisciplinary methodology and innovative tools to monitor the dynamics of interactions between Amazonian societies and their environments, to assess the vulnerability of local populations to environmental changes and to understand how different modes of governance allow to strength adaptations. This observatory will serve as a basis for policy development that integrates social, environmental, political- Enhancing Scientific European- economic and human health dimensions.

Our Key-Questions  How have environmental/climatic conditions changed ?  How have the populations adapted their practices to these changes ?  How do local stakeholders imagine their adaptations to expected changes?  Can these adaptations reduce their environmental footprint and vulnerability ?  How could governance foster adaptations to these changes ?
