The research unit's objective
The aim of the GREEN unit is to provide knowledge, methods and tools based on the modelling of complex systems to support collective processes for renewable resource management and to help stakeholders improve their capacity to manage their eco-social system.
The issues at stake are twofold:
- to develop conceptual and technical tools to represent eco-sociosystems in their multiple dimensions (economic, social, ecological, spatial and temporal), and to consider the plurality of the points of view of the parties involved (experts and non-experts) at different levels of organisation;
- to develop approaches for using these tools so that local stakeholders, as well as scientists, are involved in the management processes, from collective learning, through negotiation to decision making.
The unit is part of the Environments and Societies
department at Cirad.
