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

This project investigates how to rebalance the data asymmetry between governments and businesses and how private sector data is used in government decisions on societal issues.

The project aims to explain why problem-shifting occurs between international environmental treaty regimes and to assess its systemic effects. Building on these findings, it also aims to offer innovative governance solutions to ensure that our global environmental efforts have a net positive impact.

The PLANETSTEWARDS project consists of the following interrelated objectives: Analyze the different approaches of planetary stewardship taking into consideration actors, values, and institutions; Compare the different approaches and unfold the intricate dynamics of their co-existence; Explain how the approaches lead to positive and negative impacts on Earth and in space in terms of environmental and social dimensions; Specify the criteria for earth-space sustainability and propose transformative policy actions.

Well-being, prosperity, social security are terms that are often mentioned but at the same time raise many questions. How do we measure well-being? Is prosperity experienced equally by everyone? How can we achieve a better distribution of welfare? And how can we make well-being future-proof? Within Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, various scientists with different backgrounds are investigating these questions.
