Chair’s preface
Since its launch in 2007, Stockholm ResilienceCentre (src) has established itself as aninternational partner on human-environment
research and global sustainability. Basedon a core grant from the strategic researchfoundation Mistra, a major key to its successhas been the integration of natural and social
sciences. The fruits of this interdisciplinary
merger are best reflected by the increased
proportion of publications appearing in social
and interdisciplinary science journals. Suchpublications represented less than one-thirdof src’s total scientific production four years
ago, but now make up approximately 40%,
undoubtedly indicating a growth in cross-faculty
research outputs.
Any explanation for src’s progress would beincomplete without highlighting the work of theBaltic Nest Institute (bni), an integral part ofsrc. bni’s scientific assessments and models forthe management of large marine ecosystems haverightfully placed this institute at the very forefront
when it comes to connecting science with policy
and practice. The models and research efforts
produce important scientific insights and arecontinuously used, for example as decision
support for helcom, the regional governancebody of the Baltic Sea.

Ecological Economics, Stockholm Environment
Institute, Stockholm University and the Potsdam
Institute for Climate Impact Research. Centre
research on social-ecological interactions
and resilient systems formed the scientific
backbone of the symposium discussions. Threebackground papers were produced ahead of
the symposium, which were later publishedin a special issue of the Academy’s scientificjournal Ambio. The outcome of the symposium
discussions was the Stockholm Memorandum,
summarising the challenges and opportunities fora transformation towards global sustainability.
Overall, the centre will continue to be a global
reference point for social-ecological researchand to generate new insights on the pressing
challenges of our time.

Professor Arild Underdal
Chair of the Board

2011 was particularly important in bridging
science to policy and practice. This was the firstyear the src used its own convening capacity
to host a high-level dialogue on resilienceand sustainability. The 3rd Nobel Laureate
Symposium on Global Sustainability wasorganised together with the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences, the Beijer Institute of

Vision & Mission

The vision of the Stockholm Resilience Centre is a world where social-ecological systems areunderstood, governed and managed, to enhance human wellbeing and the capacity to deal withcomplexity and change, for the sustainable co-evolution of human civilizations with the biosphere.
The mission of Stockholm Resilience Centre is to advance research for governance andmanagement of social-ecological systems to secure ecosystem services for human wellbeing andresilience for long-term sustainability. We apply and further develop the scientific advancements ofthis research within practice, policy and academic training.
4Directors’ view
All research conducted at Stockholm ResilienceCentre departs from an ambition to better understandthe complex interactions between social and ecologicalsystems. A resilience framework guides all our researchand helps us develop a vision of sustainable co-evolution
between human civilisations and the biosphere. To succeed
in our work, we combine and connect the social scienceand humanities dimensions with systems ecology, resilience
theory and earth system science. The result? An evolving
integrative science of social-ecological systems, embeddedin the dynamics of a constantly changing biosphere, shapedby humans.

Finally, we revised our teaching and training, as well as
our inhouse seminar series, to bring these activities truly
into tune with our vision and mission. The critical cementin the web of all activities is the professionalism of ouradministration and communication staff.
In 2012 we will continue the path of performing
research at the forefront of social-ecological systems andglobal challenges, and apply and develop the scientificadvancements of this research within practice, policy andacademic training. We have successfully recruited newstaff, established new research positions and received
new grants that will help make this possible. Our new
Master’s programme on social-ecological resilience forsustainable development is now fully up and running. This
offers our international group of students an introduction
to systemsbased methods and the development of new
approaches to the management and governance of socialecological systems.

In order to support and further evolve this interdisciplinary
integration, 2011 was a year of reflection, taking stock ofwhere we are and clarifying our focus for the future. Three
processes were particularly important in this context. The
first were the theme leader gatherings in 2011. During
these meetings, we decided to take a step back and assess
our scientific contributions. Out of this process came a
new series of ‘Research Insights’. These insights provide
a synthesis of our core research areas, crystallising ourperspectives and contributions to sustainability science.
The work on the insights is well under way and willcontinue in 2012.

This year also marks the complete integration of our
new Resilience and Development programme. Formerly
named SwedBio, this Sida-funded programme effectively
bridges knowledge and practice and facilitates arenas
for dialogue between actors and stakeholders on issues
such as biodiversity, ecosystem services and poverty
alleviation. Through all our work, we continue to evolve asa truly integrated research centre, committed to scientificexcellence, while engaging actively in the bridging of
knowledge between science, policy and practice.

Closely related to this is the encouraging fact that our
publications are internationally recognised as innovative
and are cited and praised by our peers and continuously
accepted for publication in top scientific journals. A
second process worth mentioning is the Nobel Laureate
Symposium on Global Sustainability, which we co-hosted
in May 2011. This symposium established SRC as aninternational convener for high-level discussions on global
sustainability, while the production of three background
papers further clarified our focus on resilience and theneed for social-ecological transformations in the context
of planetary boundaries, planetary opportunities andplanetary stewardship.

Research framework
The research framework of
Stockholm Resilience Centre
emphasises that all people are
dependent on the collective workof the Earth’s ecosystems – thebiosphere and its generation ofcritical ecosystem services.

truly integrated social-ecological systems andresilience evolve around six interacting themes.

Humanity has emerged as a major force in theoperation of the biosphere, with a significant
imprint on the Earth system. It is time toredefine our relationship with the biosphere, andtranslate this into operational governance andmanagement to enable sustainable futures. We
are confronted with a new scientific endeavour –to generate insights supporting transformationsof societal development towards respecting
planetary boundaries and cultivating global
resilience for sustainability. src will tirelessly
advance the scientific understanding and theoryof social-ecological systems, recognising thatmany social-ecological research processes involve
collaborations of diverse knowledge systems andactors, and with the focus on governance andstewardship of ecosystem services in dynamic
landscapes and seascapes in the new global
context. src research and collaboration on

In addition to scientific activity and progresswithin and across research themes, 2011
was a year of reflection, further clarifying thesrc research focus on dynamic, complex andinterdependent social-ecological systems. At thetheme leader gatherings, we initiated a process
to assess our scientific contributions so far anda new series of src publications ‘Research
Insights’ emerged. These insights provide abrief synthesis of core areas of src research,
clarifying perspectives and contributions. Six
such publications were produced in 2011 andseveral more are in the pipeline. Unfamiliar or
unexpected findings from single publications
are put together as ‘Surprising Insights’ and, in
addition, we list on our website the most cited
and most requested publications of the src.
It is encouraging to note that several of ourpublications are recognised, for example by
the isi Web of Science, as Highly Cited Papers
and Hot Papers forming new research fronts.
They have also been reported by peers in quality
assessments like the Faculty of 1000 and ineditorials of top scientific journals.

Research highlights
Stockholm Resilience Centre has
firmly established itself as aninternational, transdisciplinary
partner on resilience andsustainability. The work conductedduring 2011 cemented that position.
Since the establishment of src in 2007, ourresearchers have generated close to 300 articles
in scientific journals, 12 books and more than
120 book chapters. This year alone we publishedsome 80 articles, six books, two special
journal issues and about 35 book chapters.
Governmental reports, popular science andoutreach articles were also produced and some
15 articles in press appeared online in 2011.
Scientific papers have been published in wellover fifty different scientific journals, including
journals such as Nature, Science, pnas, Trends
in Ecology and Evolution, and Frontiers in
Ecology and the Environment. Papers havealso been published in interdisciplinary
journals such as Global Environmental Change,
Ecological Economics, Ecology & Society,
Annual Review of Environment and Resources,
World Development, and Ambio. A numberof papers have appeared in journals devoted tomarine, water, food and urban issues, and alsoin specialist journals such as Limnology andOceanography, Landscape Ecology and Public
Administration and Current Anthropology.

Stora Karlsö

One of the team-building highlights of
the year was the three-day staff trip to
Stora Karlsö, on 4-6 September. This island,
which is the second oldest nature reservein the world, is first and foremost known
for its abundant bird life, in particular the
many colonies of breeding common murres(guillemots) and razorbills.

Global Dynamics andPlanetary Boundaries
SRC and the Beijer Institute of Ecological
Economics jointly run the research programme
Global Dynamics, Multiple Shocks and Resilience:
Planetary Stewardship and Catastrophic Shifts
in the Earth System, focusing on critical socialecological links and feedbacks at the global
scale, and the kinds of governance structuresthat can create long-term conditions/positive
trajectories for human development. SRC
is collaborating with Australian National
University and the University of Copenhagenon improving the planetary boundaries concept
and investigating the interactions between
boundaries.

Nordic Centre of Excellence –NorMER
SRC and its Baltic Nest Institute collaborate
in NorMER – the Nordic Centre for Researchon Marine Ecosystems and Resources under
Climate Change, a centre of excellence
programme funded by Nordforsk. The projects
combine the expertise of internationally15

recognised research teams from all the Nordic
countries. NorMER aims to implement a broadinternational and multidisciplinary researchstrategy that explores the biological, economic
and societal consequences of global climatechange on fisheries resources in the Nordic region,
with the primary focus on the Atlantic cod.

Regime shifts in the Baltic Sea
This Formas-funded project is aninterdisciplinary approach to develop
assessment and scenarios for the future of theBaltic Sea, benefiting from existing models
at SRC’s Baltic Nest Institute. Here, a criticalmass of social scientists and social-ecologicalresearchers, including post docs and PhD
students, work across disciplines, generating
new findings and developing interdisciplinary
syntheses, as well as engaging with key
stakeholders concerning the Baltic challenge.

Ecosupport
Ecosupport has developed a multi-model
system tool to assess the combined effect ofclimate change and nutrient loads to the Baltic
Sea. Model projections show that changes will
occur in the marine environment in a futureclimate: water temperature will increase and(eventually) salinity will decrease. Warmer waterchanges the oxygen saturation concentrations
and turnover rates of biogeochemical processes,
enhancing eutrophication. Therefore, nutrient
load reductions to the Baltic Sea are of evenhigher importance in a warmer climate. To
keep water quality targets set in the HELCOM
Baltic Sea Action Plan in the future, the results
indicate that even further load reductions arenecessary.

Arctic resilience report
The Arctic Council has approved a new project
for assessing resilience in the Arctic. Stockholm
Resilience Centre and Stockholm Environment
Institute (SEI) will lead the study, which aims
to identify the potential for shocks and large
shifts in ecosystems services that affect humanwell-being in the Arctic. It will also evaluate
strategies for adaptation and transformation in
the face of rapid change.

A boost to global
sustainability scienceCentre research on planetarystewardship helped form the scientific
backbone of the discussions during
the 2011 Nobel Laureate Symposium on
Global Sustainability. Three days of highlevel talks ended with a suite of urgent
and far-reaching recommendationsdelivered to the United Nations.
When the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
telephones the winners of the Nobel Prizes in Physics
and Chemistry and the Prize in Economic Sciences,

the standard opening phrase is “this is a call from
Stockholm”.
In May 2011, a similar call was made as the 3rd Nobel
Laureate Symposium on Global Sustainability gatheredsome 50 of the world’s most renowned thinkers and expertson global sustainability – half of them Nobel Laureates.

Necessary actions, exciting perspectives

Organised by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,
Stockholm Environment Institute, Stockholm ResilienceCentre, the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics
and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, thesymposium took place at the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences in Stockholm between 16–19 May.

Nobel Laureate Symposium

Following up from similar meetings in Potsdam(2007) and London (2009), this third symposiumprovided a platform for science-policy dialogue.
Over the course of three intensive days, theparticipants discussed climate change, decreasing
biodiversity, deteriorating ecosystems, poverty anda continuously growing population.
The discussions centred around issues thatform the very core of the research at Stockholm
Resilience Centre: social-ecological interactions,resilient systems and the need to reconnect
to the biosphere. Three background papers
were produced ahead of the symposium. The
production of these papers engaged a number of
researchers at src, along with key participantsfrom the symposium.

A critical period, but not a hopeless one
The first paper, Reconnecting to the Biosphere,
calls for a shift in mindset, emphasising that we
shape the Earth system and are fundamentallydependent on the global ecological system tosustain our development.

The second paper, The Anthropocene: From
global change to planetary stewardship,
focuses on the great acceleration into a humandominated geological epoch, the Anthropocene,and on identifying the Earth’s safe operating
space for human development.
The third paper, Tipping towards sustainability:
Emerging pathways of transformation, explores
links between agency, institutions and socialecological innovation for redirecting humanactivities towards global sustainability.
All three papers, which were later published ina special issue of ambio, represented a mix ofnecessary actions and exciting perspectives onplanetary boundaries, planetary stewardship andplanetary opportunities“Humanity has emerged as a major force in theoperation of the biosphere, with a significant
imprint on the Earth System, challenging
social-ecological resilience not only locally andregionally but also globally,” said Carl Folke,
chair of the symposium scientific committee andscience director at Stockholm Resilience Centre.
But all is not doom and gloom. In fact, the badnews could well be the good news.
“There are ample examples to demonstrate thetremendous capacity we humans have in finding
innovative solutions to improve our lives. We
need to use this innovative capacity to reconnect
ourselves to the biosphere and stay within the
dynamic safe boundaries of the planet”.
17

The Stockholm Memorandum
The outcome of the symposium discussions
was the Stockholm Memorandum, a short but
sharp document on the priorities for coherent
global action. The memorandum was signedby the Nobel Laureates and handed over to themembers of the un High-level Panel on Global
Sustainability, who decided to cut short their own
meeting in Helsinki in order to take part in the
symposium.
The memorandum urged decision-makers andsocieties to become active stewards of the planet,
and, in particular, to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals.
“The Nobel Laureate Symposium has answered
this emergency call from the future: environmentand development must go hand in hand. Humanpressures are challenging the resilience of theplanet, while inequalities remain high. The only
way to move towards fair and lasting prosperity
for present and future generations is along apathway of environmental sustainability. The
time for procrastination is over. We cannot afford
the luxury of denial,” said Johan Rockström,
Symposium chairperson and executive directorof Stockholm Resilience Centre.

From Stockholm to Rio via Durban
The Stockholm Memorandum had an immediate
impact and provided crucial input to the Panelmembers as they prepare for the 2012 un
Conference on Sustainable Development in Riode Janeiro (Rio +20).
The momentum of the symposium was also
maintained during the unfccc cop17
negotiations in Durban, South Africa, in
December. In a high-level dialogue, a broadbased group of political leaders, scientists andpolicy experts called for a strong, immediate

Malin Falkenmark –celebrating four decadesof ecohydrological bridgebuilding
Professor Malin Falkenmark’s
work has had a profoundinfluence on scientific thinking
concerning water and humandevelopment. In a full-day
seminar on 21 October 2011, thisfuture-orientated, 85-year old
water scientist was hailed byfriends and colleagues for her
outstanding work over the last
four decades. Never one for being
the centre of attention, Professor
Falkenmark preferred to have an
event that would highlight someof the key issues within water
management.
The seminar – ‘Facing the humanwater security dilemma – anecohydrological perspective’ –gathered scientists from allover the world and provided
insights into a range of issues
where Professor Falkenmark’s
work has been crucial. Professor
Falkenmark herself gave avaluable retrospective of her
own career.

The Resilience Dialogues
The Resilience dialogues are weeklyinternal seminars for staff and students.
The purpose of the seminars is to createa space for reflection and exploration offrontier resilience research questions.

There is constant ongoing work to develop the art of having
a fruitful transdiciplinary dialogue. Originally establishedby the Resilience Research School in 2009, the focus of
the Resilience Dialogues is to create an environment forhigh quality scientific discussions. They build on the src
take on resilience while offering space for developing thethinking further. The dialogues are also important for thedevelopment of the new Research insights (see page six).

Programme on Ecoystem Change
and Society (PECS)IHOPE – The Integrated History andfuture Of the People on Earth

In 2011, the international programme officeof the Programme on Ecosystem Change andSociety (pecs) was established at Stockholm
Resilience Centre. pecs is jointly sponsored by
icsu and unesco and will complement the fourglobal environmental change programmes. The
pecs vision is of a world where human actions
have been transformed toward stewardship ofsocial-ecological systems for global sustainability.
pecs will provide coordination, an overarchingframework and a focus for research projects thatinvestigate the resilience and dynamics of socialecological systems and ecosystem services inlandscapes and seascapes in a global context.

In March 2011, ihope attended the Resilience
2011 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona,
showcasing new research in six ihope projects
and exploring complex adaptive systems from across-disciplinary perspective.
It will be a key event at the Planet under Pressure
conference in London March 2012. In 2012, theihope international project office will move to
Uppsala University.

Baltic Nest InstituteThrough the Nest model, a unique decision
support system, the Baltic Nest Institute(bni) has become a crucial scientific basis forinternational decision-making on the sustainable
management of the Baltic Sea.
bni presented its research at several high-level,
science-to-policy meetings in 2011. This included
several helcom meetings and a bonus+
seminar in Brussels that gathered representatives
from the European Parliament and staff fromthe eu Directorate Generals. bni also shared its
expertise at the annual eu Info Day and with theCommittee on the Environment, Public Healthand Food Safety of the European Parliament.
Insights from bni’s research were also presented
at an expert workshop arranged by helcom andthe Black Sea Commission.
In December 2011, findings from two of
bni’s main projects were presented at the
Recoca & Ecosupport Stakeholder conferencein Stockholm. This conference provided an
opportunity for scientists and stakeholders to
discuss and evaluate recent developments andinsights and to identify areas of uncertainties andneeds for future research.

BalticSTERNThe BalticSTERN secretariat, which ishosted by Stockholm Resilience Centre,
continued its work of advancing theunderstanding of benefits generated by theBaltic Sea and of identifying cost effective
measures and instruments for reachingenvironmental targets.
The FishSTERN report, the first attempt
at an ecological-economic evaluation offishery management scenarios in the Baltic
Sea region, was published in spring 2011.
It indicates that fisheries in the Central
Baltic Sea are only profitable if the fishingpressure is low, given current stock size andfishing fleet structure.

bni’s research was also presented at the Hållbara
Hav 2011 – Östersjön seminar in Stockholm.
Hosted by the Sustainable Seas collaboration,
this seminar gathered industry, researchers andorganisations to jointly promote sustainable
solutions for the Baltic Sea.

Science, policy and practice

Restoring asustainable Baltic Sea
The centre, through its partner
Baltic Nest Institute (BNI) is deeply
involved in the current revisionof the Baltic Sea Action Plan –an ambitious policy initiative
to restore the Baltic marine
environment.
The Baltic Nest Institute has been instrumental
in the development of the Baltic Sea Action Plan
(bsap), one of the few Baltic Sea-related examples
of successful bridging between science andpolicy. The bsap clearly shows the importance ofapplying scientific ecosystem approaches for the
management of natural resources.
The bsap was signed by all Member States ofthe Helsinki Commission (helcom) in Krakow
in November 2007. In the plan, nutrient
reductions, crucial to restore the Baltic Sea fromeutrophication, were given in actual numbers as
tons of nitrogen and phosphorus for each subbasin. These reductions were then allocated by
setting specific quotas for each country.
The Baltic Nest Institute was deeply involvedin the process and performed the actual
calculations needed for all countries. A
precondition for reaching the agreement werethe models and databases of the Baltic Sea andthe surrounding drainage basin that have been

The bsap is currently under revision and a final
version will be presented in 2013. A numberof international research projects within the
eu-funded bonus programme, in which bni
participates, have confirmed and widened theconclusions of the original bsap included in the
Krakow agreement.
“The research shows, among many other things,
that a massive reduction of nutrient inputs is stillneeded to improve the status of the Baltic Sea
environment. It is not enough to build sewage
plants, efforts to reduce loads from agriculture
are urgently needed,” says Fredrik Wulff, former
director of bni. The revision of bsap calculations
is now being led by Bo Gustafsson from bni.
New data on nutrient loads and sources havebecome available, affecting the allocation ofnutrient reductions between countries. Moreover,the environmental targets, i.e. the conditions in themarine environment that characterise an acceptable‘healthy’ state, have been re-evaluated andexpanded. The model that was used to calculate theecological effects of nutrient reductions has been
replaced by a newer version. These revisions are
now being produced by bni in close cooperation
with helcom and several research institutes
around the Baltic and elsewhere.

The Resilience andDevelopment Programme
New centre programme acts asa crucial facilitator of dialogue
between research and governanceon social-ecological systems.
In 2011, Swedbio was officially embedded
into Stockholm Resilience Centre. Renamed
the Resilience and Development Programme,
this Sida-funded programme has establisheditself as a unique facilitator of dialogue between
governments, scientists, civil society andindigenous organisations, as well as the private
sector and think-tank organisations.
During 2011, the programme was involved inseveral key policy processes. It was part of theadvisory committee for Sub-Global Assessments
and worked as an advisor to the Swedish Ministryof Environment on capacity building regarding
the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform
on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ipbes).
In 2011, it organised a dialogue seminar together
with indigenous groups and government tostrengthen exchange between knowledge systems
related to processes such as the ipbes and theProgramme on Ecosystem Change and Society(pecs). Based on the conclusion from this first
seminar, a follow-up seminar will be arranged
and a report will be submitted as an information
document to the second session of the ipbes
plenary in Panama 2012.

Parties under the Convention on Biological
Diversity have adopted a strategy for resource
mobilisation. In 2011, the Resilience andDevelopment Programme formed part of anadvisory group to the unep World Conservation
Monitoring Centre (unep-wcmc) regarding
a report on indicators for the new strategy. In
addition, a member of staff from the programme
was selected by the Global Environment Facility
as one of five international experts in thedevelopment of needs assessment for future
funding of biodiversity.
To boost dialogue, the programme took the
initiative for an international dialogue seminar
between actors involved in the cbd negotiations.
The purpose of the seminar is to clarify
perspectives on how to scale up the mobilisationof financial resources for biodiversity.
For almost a decade, Swedbio has supported
the Forest Peoples Programme, the Tebtebba
Foundation and the IIFB in their work tostrengthen governance in indigenous territories
based on customary sustainable use. The newly
adopted cbd Strategic Plan includes a target
on respecting the traditional knowledge ofindigenous peoples and their customary useof biological resources. This was also one of
the topics discussed at a cbd expert meeting
held in 2011, where staff from the programmeparticipated as technical expert and chair.

Jokkmokk, June 2011, Swedbio
organised organised a dialogue
seminar together with indigenous
groups and governments tostrengthen the exchange between
various stakeholders for the
benefit of knowledge generationand ecosystem assessment. Onel
Masardule (centred) was among
the participants in the dialogue
meeting. He is Director for the
Panama-based indigenousorganisation Fundación para la
Promoción del Conocimiento
Indígena.
