The Belmont Forum announced the launch of a Collaboration Research Action (CRA) Grant Call on the theme: Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production.

Current patterns of global development based on people’s continuous extraction and exploitation of natural resources are not sustainable, and a societal transition to systems of sustainable consumption and production (SSCP) is urgently needed. In an attempt to promote co-development of research through science and stakeholder-based approaches to attain SSCP, Belmont Forum has launched a call for research proposals.

Call themes:

• Theme 1 – Transdisciplinary research to help transition to green economies with sustainable systems of consumption and production
• Theme 2 – Sustainable and Resilient industries and their governance systems
• Theme 3 – Social Inequality and Environmental Justice
• Theme 4 – Integrating new technologies, policies, and practices into everyday life

The deadline for registration and proposal submission is early May 2022, and the deadline for full application is mid-October 2022. Funding agencies from MOST Taipei, DFG Germany, Norway, Sweden, Japan, NSF USA, and Thailand will participate in this call.

The Future Earth Knowledge-Action Network on Systems of Sustainable Consumption and Production  played a major role in the development of this CRA, from the initial stage of theme proposal to the scoping process.

For more information, please visit Belmont Forum website and read the Call for Proposals and other relevant documents.

There are also training modules available for proposers on the Belmont Forum YouTube channel.
