Shaping the Future: Rising to the Challenge of the Climate Crisis

  • October 13, 2021

The UN Climate Change Conference 2021, known as COP26, takes place in Glasgow from 1st to 12th November 2021. To coincide with this occasion, on 03 November SGSSS will present inspiring examples of doctoral research that showcase some of the ways in which social science can bring new perspectives to meeting the diverse challenges of the climate crisis. An expert panel will discuss the presentations and talk about the ways in which the social sciences can contribute to our understandings of one of the most urgent human-driven global challenges. Throughout the event dedicated posters will be available to view on a digital board. Participants will be able to contribute their questions through a dynamic written Q&A tool to engage with the presenters and guests of this event.
