Earthupp Network
01 / Network & Events
The EarthUPP Network
People and organisations connecting communities, knowledge and decision-makers around water, security and environmental resilience.
The EarthUPP Network brings together people working across communities, research, policy, diplomacy and environmental practice. It creates opportunities to exchange knowledge, build relationships and explore how local priorities can inform decisions.
We welcome people at different stages of their careers and from different disciplines, including those whose work sits between sectors or whose perspectives are often missing from policy conversations.
A principle we keep
Communities speak for themselves.
EarthUPP does not speak on behalf of communities. The network exists to create space for people to share their own experiences and priorities, and to help connect that knowledge with researchers, practitioners and decision-makers. Collaboration should strengthen community voices, never replace them.
02 / Who gathers here
Ten kinds of relationship
The network is not simply a directory. It is a set of relationships between people who may rarely share a table, brought together through listening, exchange and common questions.
Communities
People whose experiences of water, land and environmental change should help shape the questions being asked and the responses being developed.
Young People
Students, emerging practitioners and young leaders contributing ideas, questioning assumptions and helping shape future approaches.
Researchers
Researchers exploring water security, environmental governance, conflict, diplomacy and resilience in conversation with the people their work concerns.
Universities
Students, academics and university networks sharing knowledge, developing collaborative research and connecting academic work with practical challenges.
Diplomats & Policymakers
People working in public institutions and international affairs who want to understand local perspectives and how decisions affect communities.
Civil Society
Community organisations, non-profits and advocates working on the ground and connecting local priorities with wider institutions.
Environmental Organisations
Groups working on ecosystems, biodiversity, climate resilience, land and the protection of shared natural resources.
Water Experts
Practitioners and specialists bringing technical experience in water governance, access, management and security.
Advisers
Experienced individuals offering guidance, constructive challenge and specialist perspectives as EarthUPP develops its work and partnerships.
Partners
Organisations and initiatives interested in developing projects, convening conversations and working together on shared challenges.
03 / Get involved
Bring your perspective.
You do not need to represent an organisation or be an established expert to connect with EarthUPP. We welcome conversations with people who have relevant experience, questions, research interests or ideas for collaboration.
You could contribute by sharing knowledge, joining a discussion, proposing a research question, helping organise an event or exploring a partnership.
