Long Abstract:

This panel aims to provide a platform for sharing practitioners’ and researchers’ experiences and reflections on crises of environment and development through the lens of the Anthropocene. This panel brings together some case studies from various places around the world to highlight the challenges and opportunities of engaging researchers, policy makers and practitioners and CSOs/NGOs’ activists to discuss a number of issues, for example, resilience in theory of change, resilience in challenging climate changes, the role of NGOs in challenging the current crisis as the impact of covid-19. What does the Anthropocene mean for established NGOs and unsettled civil society organisations (CSOs)? To what extent do NGOs/CSOs challenge the current current global crisis (climate changes, the impact Covid-19), which have profoundly shaken the ways researchers and practitioners work in/with NGOs and (CSOs), in the global south and the global north, focusing especially on the following issues:

- Distinctive country-focused challenges and NGOs/CSOs responses: while virtually all NGOs have been affected by the the environment crises and development, the impact has been different in each country, according to its specific geopolitical position, the urban/rural settings, the resources available and governments’ responses. We welcome contributions that offer in-depth single country perspectives or comparisons among different countries.

- Distinctive sector-specific challenges and NGOs-CSOs responses: how has the pandemic differently affected ‘operational’ and ‘advocacy’ NGOs? We welcome contributions offering perspectives from different sectors.

- Distinctive methodological challenges. We welcome contributions that focus in particular on:

- Adjusting existing-in progress work, approaches and methodologies: what has the process implied? Who was involved in the decision-making? What solutions were identified?

- Co-production and participation: to what extent and how has environment crises impacted on co-production and equality in NGO/CSOs work and research?

- Decolonisation: to what extent and how has environment issues including COVID-19 impacted on efforts to decolonise knowledge and approaches?

This panel is organised by the NGO in Development study group and aims to provide a platform for sharing practitioners’ and researchers’ experiences and reflections.
