ONGOING AND RECENT PROJECTS
ACDC hydro
GeoViable is Work Package leader and reference group coordinator of this three year project led by Uppsala University. The project is focused on the implementation of the Swedish National Plan for Modern Environmental Provisions for Hydropower (NAP) where we explore how to effectively manage complexity despite conflicts of interest in the collaborative processes and court proceedings carried out as part of the environmental permitting process. This is done through an interdisciplinary collaboration combining procedural and environmental law analysis with environmental governance and sociology research.

Drought and basin scale water allocation
GeoViable provides consulting services to the Global Center on Adaptation related to drought and basin scale water allocation in low and high income countries in Africa, Europe and South Asia. The work includes identifying good practice and assessing the extent to which it is relevant in different contexts, such as varying income levels and extent of regulation of water basins.

Enhancing trust in government for effective water governance (EnTruGo)
GeoViable collaborates with the Stockholm Environment Institute in a research project that has received funding through JPI Water. The project aims to investigate if and how democratic innovations in water governance impact the level of stakeholder trust towards government. The work is part of an international research collaboration that includes various case studies in Europe and Africa. Particular focus is granted to the governance of hydropower development on traditional Sami lands in the north of Sweden.
