Human dimension of global environmental changes and ecosystem services

Our future research interests will target on social innovations to ensure rural and urban sustainability and adaptation to global change. In particular we are concerned with (i) ecosystem service governance and business innovations for sustainable supply of forest ecosystem services (ii) socio-technological innovations in forestry and rural development to support climate-smart forestry under the impact of global change (iii) the role of resource regimes for management effectiveness, in particular whether self-management and self-governance can increase innovation capacities and (iv) trans-disciplinary approaches to involve stakeholders in decision making under the global (multilevel) arena.
