Garry Peterson is a Professor in Environmental Sciences with focus on resilience in socialecological systems and head of the PhD programme in Sustainability Science at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, at Stockholm University. He co-leads a research project on socialecological dynamics of ecosystem services in the Stockholm region, contributes to IPBES, and contributed to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. He is co-leader of the regime shifts research theme at the Stockholm Resilience Centre (regimeshifts.org). Garry Peterson has an interdisciplinary background and his research has consistently combined theoretical development with applied practical work. His current research focusses on how interactions among people and nature produce diverse benefits for people, or ecosystem services, and how social-ecological systems can abruptly reorganize. He is also currently working on identifying how alternative social-ecological trajectories that could lead towards ‘good’ futures for people in the Anthropocene can be identified and compared.

Victor Galaz is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in political science, and is currently working as a researcher and co-theme leader for Global and Cross-Scale Dynamics at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and as Acting Executive Director for the Global Economic Dynamics and the Biosphere programme at The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. His current research interests are in global environmental governance, planetary boundaries, emerging technologies and emerging political conflicts associated with the notion of the Anthropocene. His work has been featured in international media such as Wired, The Guardian, New Scientist and Nature. He is a regular contributor in the Swedish public and policy debate about environmental policy and emerging technologies. Victor is also the author of “Global Environmental Governance, Technology and Politics – The Anthropocene Gap” (Edward Elgar, 2014).

Carl Folke, professor, is the founder and Science Director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Director of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Carl has contributed to the development of new research areas, interdisciplinary arenas, and concepts that have spread in science, policy and practice. He works with interdisciplinary and integrative science for sustainability with a focus on social-ecological systems, resilience thinking, and ecological economics, emphasizing that people are embedded parts of the biosphere and at the same time shaping it from local to global levels, and how to adaptively govern and manage for resilience and transformation in social-ecological systems. Carl has produced over 250 scientific papers (16 in Science and Nature) and 13 books, including Linking Social and Ecological Systems: Management Practices and Social Mechanisms for Building Resilience (with F. Berkes) Cambridge 1998, Navigating Social-Ecological Systems: Building Resilience for Complexity and Change (with F. Berkes and J. Colding) Cambridge 2003, and Principles of Ecosystem Stewardship: Resilience-Based Natural Resource Management in a Changing World (with Chapin, F.S, III, and G.P. Kofinas) Springer Verlag 2009. He serves as advisor to international research institutes, has a long record of science and policy collaboration, and more recently collaboration between science and the business community.
