Our ongoing core task is to synthesise the latest research on global environmental and resource pressures and anticipate their impacts on Finnish society.<\/p>\n
We call for an ecological transformation of Finnish society, not only from the perspective of climate change mitigation but also from the perspective of other environmental issues. We emphasise the fairness of the transformation and the need for a holistic national vision of ecological reconstruction. At the same time, we develop tools for the strategic governance of slow and rapid crises, as ecological reconstruction will need to be pursued in an era of polycrisis.<\/p>\n
This work produces scientific articles, public reports, research-based initiatives and applied knowledge for private and public organisations. We also continuously seek to open up fundamental phenomena and concepts to the general public through blog posts, podcasts, lectures, etc. Our researchers are in active contact with civil servants, politicians, industry, journalists, artists and citizen activists.<\/p>\n
