Transition of cities towards carbon neutrality requires an improved understanding of the interlinkages between land-use and energy planning, and of the complexity of coupled socio-ecological processes, and feedbacks in urban-regional systems.

COASTAL is a unique collaboration between 29 partners from 8 EU Member States, representing entrepreneurs, administrations and scientific experts in coastal and rural enterprises who engage actors and stakeholders at all levels by combining local knowledge and scientific expertise in a co-creation process.

Forest management can contribute to climate mitigation, but we still do not know how forest soils respond to management and disturbances. This project will address this question by synthesizing knowledge on soils across European forests.

Innovation and partnerships for effective programs of measures for good water quality and good ecological status – with pilot study for Askrikefjärden

The overall aim of this project is to explore the link between mangrove ecosystem services (MES) and community livelihoods and well-being, changes in MES and associated drivers of change, adaptation options and their management in Tanzania, using the Rufiji Delta and Pangani Estuary as case studies.

The European Green Deal (GD) is a transformative action plan to a healthy, sustainable, prosperous, climate resilient and net-zero emission society

The project will evaluate proxies of socio-cultural services provided by the river, such as mapping locals´ favorite places on the river.

Conflict between humans and wildlife

The overall aim of this project is to analyse if less intensive rice farming strategies, such as rice-fish farming could provide sustainable alternatives to more intensive rice monocropping in the Mekong Delta.

Hydro-climatic hazard, risk, and crisis management in Sweden (CrisAct)

Water and soils are among the most important natural resources, without action, the pressure on these resources is likely to increase as a result of growing population, evolving food demand and the effects of a changing climate.

on the grazing lands of northern Fennoscandia

Knowledge about how changes in water flows affect conflicts is largely lacking. The goal of this project is to increase understanding of how people and the climate affect water flows and how, in turn, these changes affect cooperation and conflicts over water.
