Nessling Foundation Murros-call

The Nessling Foundation speeds up the sustainability transformation that protects natural systems by funding research and science-based action. In 2025, they will grant an additional million euros through the Murros-call to projects that generate deeper understanding, new perspectives, and science-based solutions for breaking away from structural overconsumption. 

The term “structural overconsumption” used in the Murros-call carries a dual meaning: it refers both to the state of overconsumption maintained by the structures of modern Western society and economy, and to the environmental footprint generated by large-scale infrastructure and construction projects. Interesting questions include: What are the structures across society that drive overconsumption, and how must they change? What economic, political, technological, and societal lock-ins are steering us towards overconsumption and acting as barriers to sufficiency? What kind of political guidance is needed for state operations or for other major societal actors?
