Our societies are facing many interdependent types of change. Many current issues relate to renewable resources.
UR GREEN works on the interactions between ecological dynamics and social dynamics within ecological and social systems in all their complexity, collective decision-making processes, and ways in which “Nature” is appropriated. It builds knowledge, methods and tools for analysing renewable resource management, representing the different regulatory systems and how they are articulated, and building players’ ability to understand such systems, on which they depend and which they influence.
Some of the questions addressed: how can we foster adaptive, sustainable management of renewable resources and the environment? What tools could support stakeholder participation in resource and territorial governance? What effect will these approaches have in terms of recognition and generation of know-how (local and academic)?
