Thematic Node 3:
Natural Resources, Economy, Governance
The research projects in this category focus on multilevel management of natural resources in light of global climate change, increasing environmental uncertainty and resource scarcity. Special consideration is given to the broader economic, socio-cultural and socio-political dimensions of natural resource management, with the aim of identifying strategies for resource governance that are ecologically sustainable and reflect the full spectrum of influences.
