LAPECS – Latin American Network of PECS (Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society)
PECS is a core project of Future Earth which aims to generate scientific knowledge about the social-ecological dynamics that contribute to sustainability transformations of social-ecological systems. PECS work is mainly based on comparative analysis of long-term case studies of placed-based social-ecological research, involving multiple methods and knowledges.
Network in Climate Change and Decision Making
The aim is to support and strengthen the public and private sectors in Latin America through activities of analysis, reflection and training to promote effective integration between science and policy to address the challenges of global change.

Conservation and management of coastal marine invertebrate fisheries in Latin America
The aim of the network is to document and disseminate new tools for conservation, management and governance of artisanal fisheries in Latin America, with special emphasis on coastal invertebrate fisheries. The network is focused on developing a set of guiding principles for achieving best practices with regard to an integrated and adaptive co-management as a way of governance, contributing to innovation management strategies of a system under multiple pressures (e.g. global changes in coastal occupation or climate variability).
