The Gjærevoll Centre - A Centre for Foresight Analyses of Biodiversity
The Gjærevoll Centre
– A Centre for Biodiversity Foresight Analysis
Our earth is under enormous pressure. While we work to find solutions to the climate crisis, the world is experiencing a dramatic loss of biodiversity. Up to one million species are in danger of disappearing for good.
The climate crisis and the nature crisis must be solved together and at the same time. The Gjærevoll Centre will contribute to this, by bringing together world-leading researchers in the field of biodiversity and sustainability in an interdisciplinary effort to contribute to stop the global nature crisis.
The Gjærevoll Centre is built on three pillars
Research
World-leading researchers increase knowledge and develop analyses and tools for society's use of nature.
Education
A green restructuring of society requires increased competence among students, future researchers and actors in society.
Communication
Knowledge must be available and relevant to the private sector, decision-makers and politicians.
