China is an increasingly central actor in global environmental governance. CHAMBITION aims to elucidate China’s role in international environmental cooperation through examining the positions the country assumes in global environmental governance and the domestic and international drivers accounting for these positions.

The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide reference data from unaffected water bodies against which impacts can be assessed, to monitor long-term changes in natural conditions and large-scale human impact, and to monitor acidification effects in freshwater in Norway as a result of atmospheric inputs of long-range transported air pollutants.

Detection of environmental DNA from marine invasive species can be done using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and droplet digital Polymerase Chain Reaction. Here we compare these two platforms for 17 very different organisms and show that ddPCR provides higher precision and can reduce sample analysis time.

The overall goal of the project is to help ensure that the new international treaty to combat plastic pollution is effective and that it takes into account the needs and circumstances of developing countries and economies in transition. Among other things, the project supports an independent coalition of scientists working to ensure that the agreement is based on independent, up-to-date research. 

An increased use of Citizen Science (CS) on environmental issues requires strengthened reflexive practice among all actors, across roles, involved in CS projects. 

Invest4Nature (I4N) is an EU-funded Research and Innovation project that contributes to the development of a nature-based solutions (NBS) market.

In SPARE we research how cities can increase their resilience by better planning for and implementation of more blue-green infrastructure to handle stormwater, foster biodiversity and increase public health by providing natural outdoor opportunities for recreation.

MARICA carries out the first systematic, multi-scale assessment of spatial patterns and drivers of marine resource conflicts across sub-Saharan Africa and in 3 focal case studies in Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. 

The overarching aim of KnowledgeScapes is to explore and improve participatory methods that contribute to knowledge exchange and knowledge-based land and sea-use management.

I prosjektet USAGE jobber vi med løsninger og tjenester som bidrar til fremtidens grønne og blå byer. Helt konkret handler USAGE om å kombinere produksjon av mat i et kompakt akvaponi-system sammen med håndtering og gjenbruk av overvann og takvann som ressurs inn i denne produksjonen.

MULTISOURCE is an EU-funded project that will facilitate the systematic, city-wide planning of nature-based solutions for urban water treatment, storage, and reuse. Through seven technical pilots across Europe and USA, a wide range of urban waters will be treated throughout the project, while decision support tools will be co-designed together with local, national, and international stakeholders. NIVA and the City of Oslo together with 18 other partners are working on the treatment and reuse of urban stormwater using nature-based treatment solutions. The Norwegian pilot treats road runoff from Tåsenveien.

MERLIN is an EU-funded Innovation project implementing nature-based solutions to help deliver the environmental, societal and economic goals of the European Green Deal.
