Transform value chains, businesses and policies to facilitate the transition to agroecology
IKEM is looking to partner up to develop a project in which the practical, economical and legal framework for climate and nature friendly agricultural models is assessed to determine the changes that are necessary to transform current models towards agroecological models. IKEM is an interdisciplinary research institute offering its expertise in fields such as law, economics and social sciences.
IKEM is a non-profit organisation and an independent research institute with more than 15 years of experience in interdisciplinary research on climate protection in the interplay of law, economy, and politics.
As an affiliated institute of the University of Greifswald, IKEM has been conducting research on climate protection and the related topics of energy transformation and mobility transition since November 2009. In numerous research projects, IKEM works closely with other universities and research institutions and investigate the legal, economic, and political foundations for successful climate protection. We regularly contribute our comprehensive expertise to projects which explore ideas for the transformation of the economy and society e.g., in real laboratories and implementation projects. Our research thus serves as baseline to foster innovations/transformations in the legal and political framework, pushing climate protection ideas to market maturity. IKEM also works on gaining social acceptance for innovative solutions in this field. IKEM is committed to strengthen social acceptance and participation in decision making processes. Therefore, IKEM develops advanced and accessible communication formats providing open-source knowledge about climate change and the energy and mobility transition.
Through research, networking, and knowledge transfer, we support fact-based decisions for climate and nature protection - as an NGO with special consultative status at the United Nations.
