Nature as a legal entity (subject area Just Transitions): The emergence of rights of nature has recently been observed in many legal systems around the world, and in some places there is even a global trend in this direction. The most decisive step towards rights of nature has been taken in Ecuador. According to Art. 71 para. 2 of the Constitution, rights of nature can be claimed by any person in or out of court. The project aims to investigate the changes brought about by the recognition of this new legal entity. Of particular interest is the transferability of the concept to other legal systems and the dogmatic problems, conflicts, but also opportunities that may arise.
Deforestation-free supply chains(research project by Prof. Dr. Ana Bonet, guest researcher at the Kassel Institute for Sustainability): The project deals with the implementation of the EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains in Argentina. This regulation not only raises questions about the ecological footprint of export products, but also about the social and ecological problems surrounding the production processes - especially for meat, soy and wood.
LEVER (Cultures of Sustainability): LEVER assumes that new transformative methods are needed to generate transformational knowledge. It aims at the critical development and application of transformative theory and practice to support the (co-)production of transformational knowledge necessary to unlock value as leverage points for sustainability transformation.
