MUST

Project description

Biodiverse and functional ecosystems are rapidly deteriorating worldwide because economic and planning decisions see nature as a resource, framing it as a source of capital aims to enhance understanding about the types of relationships between humans and other species that could produce and sustain ecologically and socially just outcomes. MUST project funded by the the Strategic Research Council operating under the Research Council of Finland (grant no. 358368) aims to build social-ecological resilience in urban and regional areas by rethinking nature-based solutions processes, structures and practices from the perspectives of both humans and other species.
