We study the interface of social and ecological systems, using methodologies from Sustainability Science and Ecological Economics. We explore what drives change in these systems and how it affects their sustainability. We conduct conceptual and empirical work in different geographical contexts of Africa, Asia and the Americas.
While ecosystem services, food security and urban sustainability are the major research areas of the lab, we work on topics as diverse as sustainability assessment, agricultural sustainability, energy policy, and green economic transitions. Our research relates to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and especially SDG 1, 2, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
