Conference for researchers and practitioners: Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition Cover image
The conference ‘Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition’ invites researchers and practitioners working with landscape change, collaborative processes and rural transformation to Copenhagen 24-25 February 2025.
Global ecological crises demand new ways of living in and managing landscapes. This opens new opportunities for future land-use, but changes may also spark contestations – at local, national and broader regional level. These contestations call for renewed debates on rural transformation to address socio-ecological problems through inclusive and collaborative processes.
The conference ‘Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition’ invites researchers and practitioners working with landscape change, collaborative processes and rural transformation to Copenhagen 24-25 February 2025. Bearing the subtitle ‘Storytelling, multispecies contestations and collaborative governance’, the conference aims to analyse contemporary rural dynamics and explore collaborative and imaginative approaches for paving ways forward for landscape making.
Within the overall theme of collaborative landscape co-creation, the conference explores the following sub-topics:
- Storytelling landscape change
- Rural contestations and multispecies conflicts
- Collaboration, democracy and multi-level governance
At the conference we are blessed with two formidable keynote speakers:
- Caterina Scaramelli, Senior lecturer, Boston University, author of How to Make a Wetland (2021) about moral ecologies and contestations over landscape change
- Judith Westerink, Senior Scientist, Wageningen University and Research – (WUR), has written about how to engage farmers in biodiversity projects and motivate for collaboration on landscape projects.
More names will be announced soon.
