Seminar 2: 

Nature and the local society

with Inger Elisabeth Måren, Katja Malmborg, Ieva Rozite-Arina, Jarrod Cusens, and Alícia Barraclough.

CeSAM welcomes you to our seminar series where we explore the Norwegian action plan for biodiversity, “Sustainable use and conservation of nature” from our different disciplinary perspectives. In this seminar #2 we will focus on how social-ecological systems thinking can contribute to processes, actionable knowledge generation, and enhanced collaboration over sustainable use and the conservation of nature.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM GBF) points to a more holistic approach to human-nature relationships, in line with social-ecological systems thinking. We actively integrate this interrelationship in our research, teaching and wider dissemination.

In this seminar, Inger Måren, Katja Malmborg, Ieva Rozite-Arina, Jarrod Cusens and Alicia Barraclough will give an overview of research within social-ecological systems thinking, with examples from current NFR and EU projects that focus on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM GBF). The examples from these projects span from large multisite global studies to local scale place-based research within the Norwegian context. The work also spans various disciplines often using mixed methods approaches to work towards solving global challenges at the local scale.

This seminar will be in English.
