Welcome to ACT!!

ACT is an interdisciplinary training and research center on the human dimensions of global environment change.

The current environmental crisis has made us aware of the need to "think globally, act locally" - yet this dictum is rarely carried out in research and training. The globalization of the environment crisis bears the risk of the research and training at Universities being purely global in nature. This would fail to take into account the highly variable local causes of human activities or to discover sustainable solutions to the use, conservation, and restoration of human ecosystems.

ACT's research and training objectives focus on how particular local populations manage resources and how those activities may be monitored using remote sensing technologies and field studies.
