A political ecologist, Jens Friis Lund’s research has focused on the politics of forestry, including the role of forestry in climate mitigation. In the past, he has studied various participatory forestry schemes as well as REDD+.
Jens’ current research focuses on the renewal of the promises of forest-based climate mitigation under the guise of Natural Climate Solutions. This includes the ways in which research and policy on Natural Climate Solutions render some future natures and nature-society relations possible and likely, while obscuring others.
