Why?

Project Objective: The main objectives of the project are the constitution of a consortium and the identification of a sustainability trajectory.
In response to this Belmont Forum call, the CovPath project, presented here, focuses on two objectives:

1. The consolidation of a consortium gathering local actors, a network of researchers, managers, and institutions involved in the management of the project sites.

2. The identification of a three-dimensional sustainability trajectory.
Call Objective: The goal of this CRA is to provide a science base for achieving sustainability goals. The CRA will support 1-2 years of collaborative research networking activities that focus on integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop Earth-system-based transformation pathways for sustainable development.
