Sustainability and Climate Action Research Lab (SCAR Lab)
The lab adopts a bottom-up approach to climate change and sustainability research, emphasizing community-driven solutions, local knowledge, and grassroots initiatives. Through an interdisciplinary lens, examining economic incentives, political dynamics, psychological drivers, and cultural heritage, the lab uncovers how communities contribute to climate resilience and sustainability. Its research informs policies that empower local actors, fostering inclusive and adaptive solutions.
