The deep interconnections

between the biosphere & global economic dynamics of various forms are becoming more and more apparent. Examples range from the emergence of new zoonotic infectious diseases to heat waves, floods and fires devastating ecosystems, undermining agricultural production and disrupting international supply chains. Such interconnections are at the very heart of research conducted within the GEDB.

GEDB is a research programme at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It is funded by the Family Erling-Persson Foundation.
