Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources

The Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources (UNR) is one of the top international addresses for research and teaching on human-environment systems. With our research and teaching, we see ourselves as responsible for the natural foundations of life for humans, plants and animals on all spatial (local, regional, international, global) and temporal scales (past, present, future). The focus of our research is on natural resources (use, protection, safeguarding), global change (climate change, ecosystems, land use, globalisation), livelihoods (forest, water, soil, air, biodiversity), transformation towards sustainability (social-ecological-technical systems) as well as natural hazards and environmental risks (resilience, adaptation).
