It is a group with more than 15 years of experience focused on work related to socio-environmental issues, leading international projects in EU calls (Memola Project), H2020 and national Research and Development projects. It is a Research Group with collaborating researchers in National Centres (ICREA, ICTA, etc.) and International Centres (Georgetown University-USA, UNAM- Instituto de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas y Sustentabilidad, Universidad de Quilmes -Argentina, Fundación Antonio Nuñez Jiménez, La Habana Cuba, UNCUYO IANIGLA Argentina,



UNICAUCA-Colombia, Universidad Nacional de Chile, Centro de Historia Universidad de Lisboa Portugal, Universidad Isla Reunión-France). This research group has developed projects that focus on finding socio-environmental solutions to problems arising from the current development model, designing responses to problems arising from climate change: water and energy scarcity, design of community processes of natural resource management for socio-food security and interference in national and international public policies on territorial sustainability of terrestrial and oceanic systems. /ppIn the field of research, Environmental Humanities Observatory focuses on working on a series of solutions and responses to the challenges posed by climate change and socio-environmental vulnerability. To this end, we propose to work on solutions to issues related to socio-environmental vulnerability in territories marked by the fragility of their ecosystems in the face of the impact of the energy and material extractivist model. To this end, we use MESMIS and Social Metabolism as methodological research tools that we apply in territories of the General South to assess the sustainability of landscapes and territories in the fight against the negative externalities of existing development models. /ppTo this end, we propose Socio-environmental Vulnerability to Climate Change as an emerging line of work that can bring together interdisciplinary CVs from the fields of Environmental History, Environmental Anthropology and other fields of social and environmental sciences. /ppThis field of research can be deployed in these axes of work: /polliClimate Change and Socio-environmental Resilience: Responses from Degrowth as Socio-energetic Transition towards another better world. /liliClimate Change and Socio-environmental Resilience: Agro-ecologies and Food Sovereignty. /liliClimate Change and Socio-environmental Resilience: Oceans and Seas as Biocultural Repositories. /liliClimate Change and Socio-environmental Resilience: Digital Environmental Humanities to create a Citizen Science. /li /olh3Research Area: /h3ulliSocial Sciences and Humanities (SOC) /liliEnvironment and Geosciences (ENV) /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
