Transdisciplinary Citizen Science Connects Caribbean Hope Spots of Colombia to Improve Coral Reefs Governance

Comprehensive training guidelines from ethical research associated with information and communication technology and artificial intelligence

“…In agreement, according to Galvis and Duart (2020), it is necessary to highlight that technology is a transformative agent in teaching and learning, providing opportunities for more accessible, personalised, and interactive education. However, as technology advances, as Habid (2020) expressed, education, teachers, and technological structures must also be updated by this community because the future of society depends not on the number of university graduates but on the quality of education.…”

Conceptualising the Link between Citizen Science and Climate Governance: A Systematic Review

“…Among studies with a multifocal approach that collect data in different countries, six are comparative case studies [92][93][94][95][96][97], and two are conceptual articles which include case studies being discussed [98,99]. One interesting feature is that the study area often exceeds the national borders and embraces geographical regions or ecosystems characterised by the presence of relevant natural elements or resources, whose conditions are being impacted by climate change; i.e., the Baltic Sea [78], the Himalayan region [79,80], river basins [81][82][83], groundwater aquifers [84], forests [85,86], coral reef [87] and migratory flyways [88]. Three publications focus on the European context, especially delving into EU policy, regulations and research agendas, and their link with the practice of CS [89][90][91].…”

“…Within the studies primarily dealing with conservation, water governance is the most prominent theme, to the extent that water and water ecosystems, such as watersheds and river basins, are emblematic examples of socioecological commons whose governance requires a collective action approach and shared regulation [16,84,105]. Moreover, themes of forests [86,106] and oceans [87,107,108] health protection and resilience boost a holistic approach to climate-related health risks which acknowledges the non-separateness of human and non-human communities [89].

“…Specifically, 11 publications (25.00%) investigate the cross-scale relationships between local processes and national/international dynamics, exploring the possibilities of upscaling, mainstreaming and replicating virtuous local initiatives towards system transformation, as well as the influence exerted by macroscopic governance dynamics and frameworks on particular contexts [109,117,122]. Interestingly, while some locally based studies focus on geographical regions and ecosystems, e.g., [78,79,87] or specific affected communities, e.g., [103,104], many others have an urban focus, as they choose cities and towns as their unit of analysis [91,98,109,112,125]. The intrinsic complexity of urban systems, in which a plurality of actors are meant to find solutions to socioecological challenges exacerbated by the climate crisis, establishes the need for integrative management approaches [125].…”
