ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL SCIENCE REPORTS
Environmental Social Science is essential to help address environmental issues such as climate change and environmental degradation, which are ultimately social issues. However, the value of Environmental Social Science is often underestimated, and it can be challenging for environmental social scientists within and outside of academia to explain to colleagues, funders and decision-makers how useful and important they are.
ACCESS is taking a co-productive approach to the creation of a definition, dimensions and operationalisation of what we mean by Environmental Social Science.
The following reports used information gathered from a survey and interviews (2023) conducted with environmental social scientists in academic and non-academic roles to help build a shared understanding of Environmental Social Science. Both reports were referred to in the webinar, Why do we need Environmental Social Sciences? with Birgitta Gatersleben.
