“…López 1). The event format was a hackathon where within each challenge, participants contributed to formulating sub-challenges and selected their focus area from two sub-groups: The Jennings et al (2023) and UNESCO (2023) papers were recommended advance readings. Within the MAGIK challenge, one subgroup was dedicated to discussion of trust-building and capacity development best practices for successful engagement in knowledge-sharing with indigenous communities, and the other subgroup addressed technical aspects of data sovereignty, security and storage capacity, and workflow processing in the EO water quality realm.…”

Indigenous Knowledge, observations and understandings of Earth processes are not sufficiently included in global Earth Observations. Drawing on the results obtained during a 3-day hackathon event, we present evidence, best practices and recommendations to water quality organizations seeking to engage and share information with Indigenous communities. The hackathon event revealed three key findings: First, Indigenous Peoples report precise and accurate observations of changes in various Earth systems, particularly the hydrological cycle. Second, this information can significantly enhance global Outreach and Engagement efforts, aiding in the understanding of hydrological cycle components, water quality, mapping water courses, and monitoring and mitigating the effects of climate change (i.e., floods, droughts, etc.). Third, enabling Indigenous Peoples to contribute their scientific knowledge and utilize Earth Observations is crucial for the protection of other vital components of the water cycle. We addressed two crucial questions: What opportunities exist to include Indigenous Knowledge into Earth Observations, and what are the main challenges in doing so?

“…In the intervening decades, community engagement and indigenous data sovereignty have become more central to ethical research and data practices in ecology and genomics. 5 [ 14 ] In 2019, HUGO CELS (as it had by then become), reaffirmed the right of every individual to share in the benefits of scientific progress and its technological applications, as an expression of genomic solidarity. Solidarity was a prerequisite for an ethical open commons in which data and resources were shared.…”

Background The following outlines ethical reasons for widening the Human Genome Organisation’s (HUGO) mandate to include ecological genomics. Main The environment influences an organism’s genome through ambient factors in the biosphere (e.g. climate and UV radiation), as well as the agents it comes into contact with, i.e. the epigenetic and mutagenic effects of inanimate chemicals and pollution, and pathogenic organisms. Emerging scientific consensus is that social determinants of health, environmental conditions and genetic factors work together to influence the risk of many complex illnesses. That paradigm can also explain the environmental and ecological determinants of health as factors that underlie the (un)healthy ecosystems on which communities rely. We suggest that The Ecological Genome Project is an aspirational opportunity to explore connections between the human genome and nature. We propose consolidating a view of Ecogenomics to provide a blueprint to respond to the environmental challenges that societies face. This can only be achieved by interdisciplinary engagement between genomics and the broad field of ecology and related practice of conservation. In this respect, the One Health approach is a model for environmental orientated work. The idea of Ecogenomics—a term that has been used to relate to a scientific field of ecological genomics—becomes the conceptual study of genomes within the social and natural environment. Conclusion The HUGO Committee on Ethics, Law and Society (CELS) recommends that an interdisciplinary One Health approach should be adopted in genomic sciences to promote ethical environmentalism. This perspective has been reviewed and endorsed by the HUGO CELS and the HUGO Executive Board.

“…Although principles like the CARE suite might be relevant for various community contexts, here we focus on their original intent for Indigenous data, and promote their further development by offering concrete recommendations for environmental data management and stewardship. In practice, CARE Principles have been shown to improve community awareness and ethical standards in environmental disciplines around Indigenous data (Jennings et al 2023).…”
