Community-Based Rangeland Ecosystem Management And Climate Change Resilience In Mongolia

The Community-Based Rangeland Ecosystem Management (CBREM) project aims to advance understanding of the role of community-based natural resource management institutions in building the resilience of coupled systems to climate change.

Four overarching research questions frame this investigation:

  1. How resilient or vulnerable are Mongolian pastoral social-ecological systems to climate change?
  2. Does community-based rangeland ecosystem management (CBREM) increase coupled systems’ resilience to climate change?
  3. What are the implications of temporal and spatial scales, and differing physical, ecological, and social system boundaries for understanding and managing the resilience of coupled systems?
  4. Can participatory system modeling and scenario planning improve within-and cross-scale learning, knowledge integration, and adaptation?
