Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation supports sustainability transition projects that aim to bring climate action back within the planet's limits. The foundation granted a total of 2.84 million euros through the general grant application.
The foundation awarded a total of €77,430 grant to Nadezhda Filimonova, a postdoctoral researcher at the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland, for her project Waste Solutions Without Borders: Advancing Sustainable Waste Management Practices in the Arctic.
This two-year project is a continuation of the STRAWCO networking project, which was funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers' Arctic Program. The project also expands networks and explores interregional city partnerships to support communities, decision-makers, and waste management operators.
The project utilizes multilevel, collaborative governance frameworks and participatory qualitative research methods to promote sustainability, reduce inequalities in Arctic waste management, and preserve planetary boundaries such as climate and land system.
