Postdoc: (Co)benefits of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation

Your function

The Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) has a new position for a postdoctoral (PD) researcher in the field of environmental economics.

The specific co-benefits depend strongly on the specific problem and CCA solution, but may include improved water quality, lower flood risk, traded goods with regional markets such as agroforestry/pastoral products, and recreational benefits related to biodiversity and landscape management. 

An important part of the project is co-design of research and co-creation of knowledge with a wide variety o...
