Research project Green cognition

The project "Green cognition: on the links between sustainability factors in the environment and human sustainability with regard to health and behavior" develops environmental data and examines the importance of environmental exposures in the living environment and more.

The overall purpose of the project is to investigate the interconnections between sustainability factors in the environment and human sustainability with regard to health and behaviour.

The project develops environmental data and examines the importance of environmental exposures in the living environment – such as green infrastructure / green environments, noise, air pollution, etc., around the home and workplace – and psychosocial factors, for human sustainability, in the form of mental, cognitive and physical health outcomes and behaviours in population cohorts. The aim is further to study the interconnection between environmental factors, health development and behaviours in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The project contributes with important empirical bases and the integration of environmental and human sustainability factors, including environmental, urban development, working life and public health policies.
