Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC), explores how people and nature can live and develop on a planet under pressure. The centre is a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The centre states that its mission is to:
- advance the scientific understanding of the complex, dynamic interactions of people and nature in the Biosphere
- train the next generation of sustainability researchers and leaders
- engage in collaborations with change agents
Stockholm Resilience Centre has a particular focus on social-ecological resilience, where humans and nature are studied as an integrated whole. The centre advises policymakers and industry on ecosystem management and long-term sustainable and equitable development in Europe and elsewhere around the world.
