THE ECO ANNUAL REPORT FY’21-22

“Sources and Sinks” by Alisa Singer from the ECo Artwalk

This past Earth Day, the throngs of students, staff, faculty, and neighbors rushing through the Georgetown campus were greeted with something a little unusual. A man—Rodney Stotts of Washington, D.C.—sat with a Harris’ Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus; pictured right) perched on his arm and a Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) at the ready nearby. As the master falconer demonstrated how to handle the raptor, he reflected on his journey through the criminal justice system to nature, using birds to inspire others in the community to reconnect with the self, the environment, and each other.

I feel this phenomenon of ecological belonging saved me, too. It showed me a path of inquiry, contemplation, and wonder. I believe the more we can create and nurture a generation of leaders who act for the environment and for each other, the more hopeful and optimistic we should be about our future.

“

I am confident in Georgetown University’s ability to lead this charge through transformative education, research, and action for environment and sustainability. It is my honor to share the work of the Earth Commons (ECo)—Georgetown’s Institute for Environment and Sustainability—and the story of our launch this past year in our first-ever ECo Annual Report, from co-creating a new master’s program with the McDonough School of Business and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and recruiting the brightest minds in academia, to seeding environment and sustainability innovations here on campus, to supporting a vibrant arts community and launching our signature magazine.

I am forever grateful to the community that has gathered around this effort to—as Pope Francis writes in the Laudato Si’—”Care for Our Common Home,” on campus and globally. Despite the great challenges we face in our time, I see a future where we can learn, grow, and thrive together. It’s already begun.

Availability of food is one of the key components of food security. Published results indicate that the impact of climate change on food security could be significant with a projected range of between 5 million to 170 million additional people at risk of hunger by 2080.

Predicting where crop pests and diseases may occur, both now and in the future under different climate scenarios, is a major challenge for crop production, food availability, and indirectly for food security.

Estimating the fundamental thermal niche (optimal, minimum, and maximum temperature) is a potential approach to understanding when and where crop pests and diseases could damage food supplies. This information can generate global thermal suitability maps to show how many months each location is suitable for a particular crop pest/disease under current and projected climate scenarios, which is important for crop pest/disease surveillance and agricultural planning.

This postdoctoral research project traces the rise of environmental peacebuilding and sustainability practices in the context of United Nations peace operations. Building on Danielak’s dissertation research—which looked at the ideas and practice of realizing peace through ‘public works’ infrastructure projects—she will examine communities’ response to specific infrastructure projects pursued by the UN. Specifically, Denielak will conduct additional research with municipal authorities and communities in Bamako (Mali), Nicosia (Cyprus), and Baidoa (Somalia) to understand how local communities engage with, and eventually operationalize, environmental peacebuilding. This fellowship will contribute a planning perspective to current debates on environmental challenges while also centering peace and conflict studies in my teaching and research at Georgetown.
