Dr. Philipp Gorris

 

My work is focused on regional development, environmental governance and sustainability transformations. I currently study approaches to biodiversity conservation, cross-sectoral regional planning and environmental policy implementation. Moreover, I am interested in factors that increase the resilience of small-scale natural resource dependent businesses to environmental change. I use different empirical research methods with a focus on network analysis and modeling.

Key topics: Collaboration, Collective Action, Environmental Governance, Livelihood Resilience, Protected Areas & Spatial Planning, Research Methods, Social & Political Networks, Sustainable Development
