The overarching objective for this opportunity is to increase the understanding of place-based approaches for a sustainable future, which will enable enhanced evidence-based decision making.<\/p>\n<p>Desired outcomes of the research include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>enhanced understanding of environmental challenges and solutions from a place-based perspective to develop findings, tools and theories, which can be applied by local and national policymakers, communities and practitioners<\/li>\n<li>co-produced solutions or enhanced understanding of place-based approaches for a sustainable living<\/li>\n<li>contribute towards the evidence base informing the UK net zero by 2050 target and broader environmental, biodiversity and sustainability goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Areas of interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proposals should consider place-based approaches for an environmentally sustainable future. Areas of interest, could include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the circular economy, resource efficiency, and material, energy and environmental conservation linked to specific locales<\/li>\n<li>place-based solutions to mitigate and adapt places to climate change<\/li>\n<li>the role and interaction of diverse factors that combine in a place and their influence on sustainability, for example:\n<ul>\n<li>behaviour<\/li>\n<li>education<\/li>\n<li>employment<\/li>\n<li>housing<\/li>\n<li>transport<\/li>\n<li>lifestyles<\/li>\n<li>local environments<\/li>\n<li>finance<\/li>\n<li>trade-offs<\/li>\n<li>access to, and role of, digital technology or locally produced essentials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>the impact, effect and longevity of common, multilevel and experimental governance on a place (for example, levelling up initiatives) and how local and place-based bottom-up approaches interact with national and policy-driven top-down approaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Proposals should:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>shape policy and practice at a local level<\/li>\n<li>outline their approach to spatial and temporal transferability and scalability<\/li>\n<li>address the \u2018just transition\u2019 and consider how place-based approaches can address multiple and systemic inequalities<\/li>\n<li>enhance the governance relationships between civil society bodies, local authorities, central and devolved administrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ESRC will fund research grants, running for five years from a start date of 1 April 2024. The FEC of each project can be up to \u00a32 million.
