Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC)

An international research centre on resilience and sustainability science

Since its launch in 2007, SRC has developed into a world-leading science centre for addressing the complex challenges facing humanity.

The centre is a joint initiative between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at The Royal Swedish Academy Sciences.

It is governed by a board with additional strategic advice provided by two separate advisory councils.

SRC’s vision is a thriving and resilient Biosphere that enables well-being for all.

Their mission is to:

advance the scientific understanding of the complex, dynamic interactions of people and nature in the Biosphere,
train the next generation of sustainability researchers and leaders, and
engage in collaborations with change agents.

The Global Resilience Partnership is hosted at the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
