Carl Folke (born 1955), is a trans-disciplinary environmental scientist and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.^[1] He is a specialist in economics, resilience, and social-ecological systems, viewing such systems as intertwined and potentially unexpected in their interactions. As a framework for resource management, this perspective brings important insights to environmental management, urban planning, and climate adaptation. He suggests ways to improve our ability to understand complex social-ecological interactions, deal with change, and build resilience, often working at smaller scales as a step towards addressing larger scales.^[2]^[3]

Folke is the Director of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.^[4] He was the founding Science Director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre (2007-2023) and remains Chairman of the Board for the Centre.^[5]

Biography

Folke earned his Ph.D. in 1990 in ecological economics/Natural Resource Management from the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden^[1] under the supervision of AnnMari Jansson.^[6] His Ph.D. work identified the ecosystem services that the Martebo mire provided for the island of Gotland before it was drained. Without the wetland's free naturally-powered resources, expensive fossil-fuel-based technological substitutes were needed for sewage treatment, pesticides and fertilizers, and water treatment.^[7]

Folke has continued his career in Stockholm, working for both Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute in a number of leadership role.^[1] He served as deputy director of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1991-1996.^[8] He became Chair of Natural Resource Management at the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University in 1997,^[8] serving until 2007.^[9] He served as director of Stockholm University’s Center for Transdisciplinary Environmental Research (CTM) from 1999-2006.^[8]

In 2007, Folke became the Director of the Beijer Institute and the founding Science Director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC),^[8] formed in 2007^[10]^[11] by the Beijer Institute at Stockholm University. In 2019, he became Chairman of the Board of the Stockholm Resilience Centre. In 2023 he stepped down as science director, and was succeeded by Beatrice Crona and Magnus Nyström. He continues to be Chairman of the Board of the Stockholm Resilience Centre.^[5]

Folke was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2002 and serves on its Environmental Research Committee.^[8] He is among the founders of the Resilience Alliance. He was involved in the development of the International Society for Ecological Economics and contributed to Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Folke served as Co-Editor in Chief of Ecology and Society (formerly Conservation Ecology) from 2002-2019.^[12]^[13]
