DSI: FORest CiTizenship for disaster rEsilence: learning from COVID-19 (FORTE)

Project: Research

Description

This project uses Brazilian Amazonia as an arena to examine how marginalized people, disproportionately affected by COVID-19, are using citizenship to mitigate the pandemic’s negative societal effects. The project aims (1) quantify linkages between forest citizenship and COVID-19 resilience; (2) understand practices of forest citizenship in relation to COVID-19 experiences; and (3) understand and disseminate learning on conditions for promoting forest citizenship and enhancing disaster resilience across Amazonia.

This project is funded by the Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP) for the Social Sciences and Humanities. Our project (FORTE) is co-funded by the ESRC, NSF (USA) and FAPESP (Sao Paulo, Brazil). The Lead PI for FORTE is Luke Parry (Lancaster). The Brazilian PI is Rodrigo Martins (Federal University of Sao Carlos), and the USA PI is Peter Newton (U of Colorado Boulder).
