About

The primary objective of the LoVeSe-SDG project is to deploy novel interdisciplinary social science, humanities, marine science and mathematical methodologies to review and critically analyze the current state of knowledge in relation to the international mandate of delivering on the UN SDGs, specifically # 2 (Zero hunger), # 13 (Climate adaptation), # 14 (Life under water) and # 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

To support this objective, we are working on a concrete case, Andøy Kommune in the Vesterålen region of Northern Norway, to map the complex social-ecological system (SES) through interviews, a Q-study and workshops with local business leaders, planners and authorities. These insights allow us to understand synergies among the 169 SDG targets that we will discuss in digital workshops using the ARCT tool (arct.tools).
