The Department of Economic History, Lund University, is advertising a fully funded four-year position as a PhD student, starting 15 January 2024. The project conserns sustainable rural communities with a specific focus on water resources in arid parts of Colombia.

The project aims to enhance the sustainable, resilient, and fair development of rural and dispersed communities living in dry areas of Colombia, where the climate-water-biodiversity interactions have become a challenge for human well-being and nature. Climate change threatens natural processes for water systems and accelerates biodiversity loss. Similarly, biodiversity loss and water scarcity has exacerbated the negative impacts of climate change on nature. Should future consequences of climate change mirror these effects, the negative impact on human and natural life may be irreversible (IPCC, 2023).
