      5. Action for good life


      In this section, we will introduce research projects that advance planetary well-being and good life. In addition to researchers from different fields, these projects include different actors from different levels of society: municipalities, cities, companies, and civic movements. By introducing these projects, we want to encourage you to continue in multidisciplinary environmental and sustainability research.
