Albert Norström Email & Phone Number

I am an Associate Professor at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and currently serve as the Science Director of the Earth Commission. The Earth Commission is a global team of scientists with the mission to define a safe and just corridor for people and the planet. My background is coral reef ecology, but my ongoing research areas are broad. My current work spans the social-ecological dynamics of ecosystem services, resilience in vulnerable and fragile contexts, the development of positive social-ecological visions for sustainable futures, and delivering better frameworks to understand what is meant by knowledge co-production in sustainability research. I served as Executive Director of Future Earth's Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) between 2011-2018. PECS integrates research on the stewardship of social-ecological systems, the services they generate, and the relationships among ecosystems, human wellbeing, livelihoods, inequality, and poverty. Between 2018-2020 I served as the Deputy Director of the Guidance for Resilience in the Anthropocene: Investments for Development (GRAID) program which is hosted by the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) and funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). GRAID aimed to bridge the worlds of resilience thinking and development practice. Most recently I served as Head of Knowledge and Evidence of the Global Resilience Partnership.
