Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development - Research Module on Ecosystems
Enhancing sustainable and climate-friendly use and management of ecosystems for human well-being is at the core of a new research module in the context of SDC’s and the Swiss National Science Foundation’s (SNSF) joint r4d Program (Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development; www.r4d.ch). Researchers from Switzerland with their partners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America will jointly generate new insights and develop innovative concepts and tools for a more sustainable and equitable provision of ecosystem services benefiting the poor.

Hintergrund |
Over the last five decades humans have increasingly changed ecosystems to meet rapidly growing demands. This has resulted in rapid changes in the global ecosystems, including a loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural resources. Despite substantial gains in economic development and human well-being that have been achieved through changes to ecosystems, not all regions and groups of people have benefited from them. At the same time, the negative effects of ecosystem change are being borne disproportionately by the poor in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For addressing such complex global issues in a holistic and integrated way inter- and transdisciplinary research and innovation play a crucial role. |
Ziele |
Ecosystems are used and managed in a sustainable way and provide adequate services, in particular, for the benefit of poor and vulnerable societies in developing countries and emerging economies. |

Resultate |
Resultate von früheren Phasen: The first two thematic r4d research modules (social conflicts and employment) as well as the first of three thematically open calls were successfully launched in 2012. The submitted proposals are currently being evaluated. The main evaluation criteria are scientific quality and development relevance. |
