As such, the UK is committed to reducing its emissions according to International Agreements (for ex. the Kyoto protocol). The development of new Emission Factors for agriculture has a impact not only on the accounting of national emissions, but also on the application of mitigation strategies from the understanding on where the emissions come from, also to show compliance with the international demands for reduction.Multiple continents/internationalInterview by Bayliss-Brown G. for the Irish Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (IATiP) on findings on the public perception of aquaculture.Influenced training of practitioners or researchersNationalhttps://iatip.ie/resources/interviews/sofiafranco/Franco, 2019.

The interview given highlighted some of the ethical debates and issues associated with fish welfare in aquaculture, from the aspects of public perception but also with some notes on productivity, and served to set the tone to that section of the MOOC looking the challenges of aquaculture management and the importance of fish welfare. The interview aimed to invite the students to reflect, debate and share their own views and perspectives the topics.EuropeFranco et al. 2019. The National Food Strategy.

The session delivered on public perception of Aquaculture, explored how businesses should consider their responsibilities as curators of responsible businesses and how their actions shape public perception of aquaculture operations. It was infrromed by findings of the Diverseafood project and Aquaculture KE Fellowship. SESSION ABSTRACT: Understanding how aquaculture and farmed seafood is perceived by society is essential to aquaculture businesses' social acceptance, from entrepreneurs seeking external funding or developing branding strategies, to established businesses looking to improve community engagement or market penetration. This talk will discuss the current knowledge on public perception of aquaculture, social license to operate and factors modulating attitudes to seafood. It will examine aspects such as the differences in perception between aquaculture production systems/species or the relevance of socio-ecological sustainability themes and product attributes. It provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on the factors influencing social acceptance of aquaculture operations and farmed seafood and to discuss potential approaches to develop socially acceptable aquaculture businesses and products.Europehttps://www.eitfood.eu/projects/inspire/sustainable-aquacultureBilling S.L., Ferguson L., Franco S.C.

We did this for three courses, looking at issues ranging from sustainability to neighborhood poverty.AfricaProduction of videos aimed at young practitioners and studentsInfluenced training of practitioners or researchersWe have also produced a series of short teaching videos and a professionally produced animated video focusing on young town planning practitioners. The animated video aims to assist planning students to make the transition from university to their first job. The teaching videos relate to various topics of interest regarding town planning issues in South Africa. The collective views at the time of writing was 272.AfricaInfluenced the postgraduate curriculum of a university department in partner country (South Africa)Influenced training of practitioners or researchersIn terms of the impacts on the South African partner university, the University of the Free State, many of the research findings have been used to shape the Urban and Regional program's postgraduate program structure. For example, the South African PI has used data from the program in shaping the creation of an honour's research module. This data has also been used to make changes to other courses taught in the department and was cited in the departmental accreditation report submitted to SACPLAN as providing the evidence base needed to identify necessary changes to the postgraduate planning curriculum.AfricaAnonymized research data used as a teaching tool for a postgraduate research methods courseInfluenced training of practitioners or researchersThe data generated from this project was used in a postgraduate research methods course at the University of the Free State, South Africa. The interview transcripts and survey data were used to teach basic qualitative and quantitative data analysis to students, many of whom are already working in practice.AfricaImplementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of Health (South Africa)Implementation circular/rapid advice/letter to e.g. Ministry of HealthOne of the earlier outcomes of the SAPER Project was the analysis of the SACPLAN Registration Data. The evaluation and interpretation of the SACPLAN Registration data provided the evidence regarding the rapid growth over the past 10 year in the number of registrations as well as a clear change in the demographic composition of planners in the South Africa. This also clearly demonstrated the transformations undergone by the profession with specific reference to race as well as gender, typically an increase of non-white planners and more women entering the profession. An article was published in the June 2019 issue of the SACPLAN Newsletter. In the same issue, we also reported on the findings from the large-scale SAPER survey which looked at practitioners' attitudes toward the state of the profession in South Africa; it was comprised of 212 questionnaire responses and coupled with 89 in-depth qualitative interviews. The short article focused on lessons for planners' formal education and training looking at how planners were adequately prepared or not to work as a planner. It informed discussions on the planners' accreditation process and particularly the SACPLAN Competencies and Standards Project. The same information addressing the number of registered planners as well as the SACPLAN Registrations by race and gender were included in a presentation made during a meeting with Minister Thoko Didiza, the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) at the end of 2020. The DALRRD is the department responsible for planning nationally. Results were also presented by the Chief Executive Officer of SACPLAN at the Council for the Built Environment's (CBE) Annual Transformation Indaba held in 2019 and received very positive feedback. The SACPLAN Chairperson also presented this information during the Planning Africa Conference 2018 held in Cape Town, South Africa. The title of his presentation was "Role of SACPLAN in Shaping the Future of the Planning Profession". It is still too early to argue that the SAPER results are informing policy outcomes, however results are being currently widespread in high-level decision-making arena. It is worth noting that Mischka Dunn (nee Jacobus) whose PhD was funded out of the SAPER project is finishing her thesis now. Some of the findings from her thesis (on the 102 week's practical experience) have informed SACPLAN's registration process. One specific example is: SACPLAN now requires an agreement on a training plan between the candidate planner and supervisor, revised each 6 months and sent to SACPLAN to confirm that training is occurring. It is worth mentioning that SACPLAN is currently actively working towards addressing the resource and skills gaps affecting the profession. It is actively driving the agenda seeking for solutions as to address the need to employ registered and qualified planners within the public sector. In this regards SACPLAN had been engaging the DALRRD, the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) as well as the South African Local Government Association (SALGA). Both the SAPER Briefing note on Bridging the gap: the candidacy phase, as well as the SAPER Briefing note - Matching needs: planner in local government have been used in the discussions with the DALRRD, COGTA and SALGA. The policy briefs on the shortage of planners appears to have reached the Presidency as Town Planners were included in the list of internships advertised this year along with the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agency's (MISA) internships. The importance of their role in the rolling out of the recommendations in the briefing notes had been identified and acknowledged. Again, discussions about the future directions of planning are still ongoing, we can expect the SAPER results to continue information discussions in the next couple of years.AfricaMembers of the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme; both Cardiff and Imperial College academics represent the UK delegationParticipation in a guidance/advisory committeeMultiple continents/international
