Exploring how climate change impacts on girls’ lives, with a focus on education.
REFNo: SS1917ES
3. Determine the extent to which education – and/or other sources of information – inform girls’ (and their households’) decision-making on coping strategies and adaptative capacities.,2. Understand how climate impacts shape girls’ and households’ decision-making, coping strategies and adaptive capacities, including how girls’ education is impacted in these processes.,1. Establish the climate-induced impacts experienced by girls, their households, and their communities, with reference to how these have changed over time, whether girls think they can be adapted to and how the climate may impact on the girls’ education. ,We aim to provide evidence to inform Plan International’s wider work and agenda on climate change and education, as noted above. We propose to utilise existing evidence from our Real Choices, Real Lives study and undertake additional data collection that specifically explores the impacts of climate change (and in doing so explores adaptation, losses and damages).,

Between Emerald Worlds: Analyzing the Spiritual, Ritual, and Pharmacological Facets of Neuroactive Natural Materials in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS1894ES
Research questions to be addressed by this project: 1) How do various indigenous communities in Uganda understand, use, and prepare neuroactive plants, fungi, and other natural materials for spiritual, ritual, and ceremonial purposes and within their healthcare systems; 2) can the pharmacological targets of these materials be identified, and what active ingredients are causing the claimed effects; 3) can animal self-medication evidence for the use of neuroactive materials by the apes be generated for the first time; and 4)how to develop and to distinguish best-practice models for the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol for both non-financial and financial benefit-sharing when the intellectual property holders are either a) members of local human populations or b) apes (an unprecedented case)?
Main objective: To help fill gaps in social and natural scientific research on neuroactive natural remedies in a region of the world about which very few ethnopharmacological studies on the use of neuroactive natural remedies exist.
Specific objectives: 1) The first-time documentation of the cultural, spiritual, and ritual use of neuroactive natural remedies in rural Uganda, including methods of preparation and administration in a cultural, potentially ceremonial, setting; 2) the identification of new bioactive substance leads on the basis of the archiving of the chemical biodiversity of the collected samples; 3) the generation of new knowledge on how different populations interpret the spiritual/ritual settings of various neuroactive natural materials; 4) the contribution of new insights into the benefits of neuroactive natural remedies with respect to mental health and societal well-being; 5) a deeper understanding of the importance/intentions of various neuroactive substances for spiritual and ritual purposes within cultural worldviews; 6) the investigation of potential overlap in the use of neuroactives between humans and non-human primates at the study sites; 7) the shifting of negative Western views on neuroactive substances as stimulants/sedatives and rightfully DEA Schedule I substances.
