Research sections (2)
International environment and development
NIVA's Section for International Environment and Development works with solutions to complex environmental problems, locally, nationally, and globally. We work interdisciplinary, qualitatively, and quantitatively and connect social science and natural science methods to create holistic analyses and solution proposals.
Water and society
The Water and Society section engages in research on the interactions between people and nature, and how different values and knowledge can be better integrated in environmental policy, regulation and management. Understanding these interactions is essential for relevant, inclusive and holistic water and environmental governance.
