Research in action: Global challenges and multispecies justice : Launch of the RESET Project
The RESET kick-off event presents the project both to the academic community and to a wider audience. The programme highlights the value of transdisciplinary research in tackling global socio-ecological challenges and in finding solutions that are just and sustainable. RESET is a University of Helsinki profiling action seeking solutions to the major challenges of our time. These challenges, such as the deepening climate crisis with biodiversity loss and related impacts on health and welfare, and unevenly distributed and utilised resources including food and water, just to name a few, are complex and intertwined issues, which affect both the human and non-human species of our planet. Finding solutions to these intersecting wicked challenges requires holistic action built on research-based knowledge to enable and guide much needed sustainability transformations. Generating such new knowledge, in turn, inevitably requires novel transdisciplinary collaboration across both life and social sciences as well as reach beyond academia. RESET brings together eight faculties and HiLIFE to tackle the attested global socio-ecological challenges – and, importantly, to find solutions that are just and sustainable.
