The Stockholm Resilience Centre explores how people and nature can live and develop on a planet under pressure. Founded in 2007, the centre is a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy Sciences. Today, the centre brings people together from around the world to research, study and collaborate, with a vision of thriving and resilient biosphere that enables well-being for all. Knowing that people and nature are deeply intertwined, our work recognises the importance for humanity to reconnect to the biosphere — to thrive within planetary boundaries.
