LUCSUS has been identified as an Earth System Governance Research Centre to support the implementation of the ESG Science Plan and specifically to share responsibility for the analysis of the allocation and access analytical problem.
The Earth System Governance Project (www.earthsystemgovernance.org) is a core project of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) (www.ihdp.unu.edu/), and builds on the results of the former IHDP project on the Institutionaö Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (IDGEC). LUCSUS has a strong international research profile through our involvement in the new Earth System Governance core research project under IHDP
Earth system governance is defined in this project as the interrelated and increasingly integrated system of formal and informal rules, rule-making systems, and actor-networks at all levels of human society (from local to global) that are set up to steer societies towards preventing, mitigating, and adapting to global and local environmental change and, in particular, earth system transformation, within the normative context of sustainable development.
Based on this general notion, the Earth System Governance Project advances a science plan that is organized, around five analytical problems:
- Architecture
- Agency
- Adaptiveness
- Accountability
- Allocation & Access
