Turning away from the brink of a failing sustainability transition
Table of contents
Project description
Transformative actions towards sustainability are currently unfolding on an unprecedented scale and at significant costs worldwide. However, the pursuit of sustainability has, in some instances, led to adverse environmental and social outcomes. These include costly yet unsuccessful nature conservation efforts and an increase in social inequality. This research project will investigate how adverse outcomes arise from sustainability initiatives and how they can be better managed. The project will provide solutions for swift responses to negative outcomes arising from sustainability initiatives. It will enhance our capacity to transition to sustainable natural resource management as safely as possible.
The project is funded by Research Council of Finland.
