The historical research project SPHERE focuses on one of the most comprehensive and complex governance issues in the contemporary world: humanity’s relation to planetary conditions and constraints. The key argument of the project is that Global Environmental Governance (GEG), which has arisen in response to this issue, is inseparable from the rise of Earth Systems Science and a knowledge-informed understanding of global change. SPHERE is a European Research Council-funded project based at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and runs from 2018-2023.
