Conference for researchers and practitioners: Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition – Storytelling, multispecies contestations and collaborative governance
The conference ‘Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition’ invites researchers and practitioners working with landscape change, collaborative processes and rural transformation to Copenhagen 24-25 February 2025.
Global ecological crises call for new ways of living in and managing landscapes. With a variety of demands, wishes and visions for what the landscape should support, the concept of multifunctional landscapes has gained heightened traction in recent years. Meanwhile, the increasing demands for changes in the agricultural sector has ignited a movement of protests across Europe, where farmers through roadblocks and mobilisations are disputing new environmental requirements. Such local, national and regional contestations call for renewed debates on rural transformation in order to address socio-ecological problems through inclusive and collaborative processes.
The conference ‘Co-creating Landscape Change in the Green Transition’ invites researchers and practitioners working with landscape change, collaborative processes and rural transformation to Copenhagen 24-25 February 2025. The conference aims to analyse contemporary rural dynamics and explore collaborative and imaginative approaches for paving ways forward for landscape making.
The conference is organized by the interdisciplinary and collaborative research project Storytelling Landscape Change, where landscape planners and anthropologists from University of Copenhagen collaborate with Danish public sector nature and landscape managers to explore new ways of co-creating the landscape.
Within the overall theme of collaborative landscape co-creation, the conference explores the following sub-topics:
- Storytelling landscape change
- Rural contestations and multispecies conflicts
- Collaboration, democracy and multi-level governance
The conference will feature keynote speeches, workshop sessions and a roundtable discussion to facilitate dialogues on future landscape making.
