Håkon Stokland

I am a researcher at the Department of Terrestrial Biodiversity at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA). I hold a PhD in interdisciplinary studies of culture and a master’s degree in history. I have also studied biology, chemistry and mathematics over three years as part of my bachelor’s degree in history, and have formerly worked as a marine biologist assistant.

My research focus is on biodiversity governance and the role of management tools and knowledge in biodiversity-related politics. Topics of investigation include forest governance, restoration, climate budgets for ecosystems, nature mapping methodologies, environmental impact assessments, and wolf management. In a broader sense, my research addresses sustainability, biodiversity loss, climate-biodiversity interactions, integrative and informed governance, and transformative change. My research approaches draw on science and technology studies, environmental history and governmentality studies among others. I am involved in much interdisciplinary research and engaged in finding new ways to collaborate across natural and social sciences and humanities in IPBES and beyond.

I am a selected Lead Author for The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Transformative Change Assessment (2022-2025).

I am also a selected Fellow for The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Assessment of the Sustainable Use of Wild Species (2018-2022).

I am main organizer of the Social Sciences and Humanities Network (SSH Network) related to IPBES. The Social Sciences and Humanities Network (SSH Network) | Onet (ipbes.net)
