Centre secures new Wallenberg and Biodiversa+ grants for SEK 35 million
Centre researchers have been awarded a grant from two Wallenberg Foundations for research into resilient forest management, and seven grants from a recent Biodiversa+ call on transformative change for biodiversity
Centre researcher Ingo Fetzer has been awarded SEK 8 million from two Wallenberg Foundations: Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation and Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation. The grant will fund the project “Resilient Innovation and Sustainable Knowledge for Swedish Forest Management in the Anthropocene”. Within the project, Ingo Fetzer will partner with Zahra Kalantari (KTH), Anna Tengberg (Lund University), Centre researcher Lan Wang-Erlandsson, and Malin Lundberg Ingemarsson (SIWI).
The Swedish forests are crucial to Sweden’s sustainability goals and economy, but they now face new risks. In the Anthropocene changes are rapid, large-scale and interconnected that highly complex interactions create unexpected and significant uncertainties.
The dominant Swedish management model, SFMA, is facing new challenges, and the question is whether it contributes to further loss of resilience and therefore needs to be adapted to strengthen the future resilience of forests.

The Stockholm Resilience Centre hosted research programme Fairtrans has been granted SEK 40 million for a second phase, co-financed by Mistra and Formas. Building on achievements such as training union leaders, launching Sweden’s first national citizens’ assembly on climate, and investigating public acceptance of climate policy, Fairtrans will now expand its efforts at the European level.
