We engage in participatory science and open science, as well as disseminate our results as broadly as possible, to bridge the gap between science and society. We regularly inform about our Impact activities and related outputs in this section of our website.
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) initiatives often aim to incentivize the joint adoption of forest protection and sustainable management practices. This research in Chiapas, Mexico, shows the limits of PES when parachuted into a context of uneven land tenure, weak collective action and contested leaderships.
While the presence of women in academia is increasing, inequality remains in terms of women’s representation in publication outputs, citations, and leadership roles. In order to highlight the importance of women’s contribution to our research, the LASEG research group has collectively compiled highly inspiring publications led by female scientists.
Extractive industries, industrial agriculture, toxic waste dumping, urban growth, and infrastructure and energy development are polluting even some of the most remote and isolated areas of the world. Indigenous Peoples (IPs) can be active allies to fight the impacts of pollution.
We argue that the Covid-19 pandemic can become an opportunity to foster a culture of care and make academic practice more respectful and sustainable.
Transdisciplinary projects that bring together researchers, policy makers, practitioners, industry and citizens, provide one avenue for holistically addressing complex real-world problems. This post presents my experience running three workshops aimed at fostering such interdisciplinarity.
While the uneven distribution of street tree benefits in Barcelona favors elderly residents in particular and partially compensates for the lack of larger green spaces in several districts, it is clear that street trees must be accompanied by other sustainable mobility measures to advance urban environmental health and justice.
