This study will assess the role of institutions, especially the environmental and resource regimes operating at local levels, in global environmental change. Using already-established knowledge and management models, the study will investigate how the management of resources can be improved in the context of global environmental change and implemented towards capacity-building programs within local communities. The findings of the project will be disseminated in booklet form to a wide target audience, including policy-makers.
