The Centre for Global Challenges wishes to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ researchers, its students, and societal stakeholders from across the globe through International Community Engaged Learning (ICEL).

Introduction meetings for new PhD supervisors (copromotoren and promotoren) at the Graduate School of Life Sciences.

PUSH-IT is a Horizon Europe consortium that aims to develop large-scale heat storage solutions to make solar and geothermal heating available all year round.

This project studies spatial and temporal variability of tree survival and growth, to assess the effects of multiple stress factors on forest growth.

This project aims to assess how social-ecological legacy effects following land-use change shape present-day human-mammal interactions, using a case-study in the Western Carpathian Mountains

By developing integrated tools as the shared platform between citizens and the energy system, and thus enabling user-centred sustainable energy systems, we envision a future where households play an active role in the energy transition.

Through a gender lens, this research aims at assessing how the implementation of CE strategies affects the quality of jobs, gender equality and the livelihood of workers in the fashion value chain.

As the world becomes more interlinked, humanity is facing ever more complex challenges. Solutions to these problems are increasingly difficult to identify, and conventional strategies fail to do so.

This project aims to identify transformation processes needed for achieving a large set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and key synergies and trade-offs among SDG indicators.

The REPAIR project goal is to develop and implement technologies that remove non-COâ‚‚ greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and the agricultural sector. Removal of the potent non-COâ‚‚ greenhouse gases, methane (CHâ‚„) and nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O) can potentially mitigate global warming in the coming decades.

The aim of the project is to develop a method to restore oyster and mussel beds with biodegradable structures with 3D-printing techniques.

How can we transition to climate-resilient rice farming in a way that is both effective and fair? This project seeks to promote more climate resilience agriculture by rice farming in India by combining expertise in plant sciences, social sciences, and policy making.

The aim of RESILIENCE is to fundamentally advance our understanding and predictions of tipping and critical transitions in ecosystems and reveal how these can be evaded and even reversed through spatial pattern formation.

This project studies whether and how crop gene editing technologies (like CRISPR/Cas) can contribute to a just transition for smallholder farmers in the global South.

Combines biological and computational science and technologies to create, optimise and utilize a revolutionary 'smart-data-breeding' concept to breed climate-resilient crops

ESCIB will develop a robust method to assess the environmental sustainability and circularity of bio-based systems, taking into account spatial-explicit environmental impacts and temporal-explicit circularity measurements.

This transdisciplinary project explores whether and under what conditions the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus approach increases social justice in South Africa.

Unravel ecological and governance potentials and limits of NbS in Indonesia and to redefine the concept to ensure resilience and sustainability
