Research Projects
Actionable budgets for sustainable climate and nature (ECOBUDGETS): Adressing the current state of piece-by-piece removal of nature in Norway and in light of the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Global Framework, this project works on investigating and mapping the nature in Bergen municipality in order to ground-truth models that seek to assess nature, from species comppositions to ecosystem services, by collecting real data in order to improve already existing models like ECoMAP (UiB), Nyvest (Vestland county), and Bergenskart (Bergen municipality).
