NCCR North-South research on natural resources and sustainability focuses on issues relating to water, soil and biodiversity. Case studies and small-scale implementation projects aim at finding potentials for making use of these resources in such a way as to meet contextual livelihood needs while maintaining standards for sustainable development.
Research is conducted in all regions where the NCCR North-South is active. It is coordinated around three main themes, each of which offers a different perspective on the relationship between natural resources and sustainable development.
