Event details

Join YESI and IGDC for a series of workshops that will bring researchers together to share and mobilise social science approaches, methods and perspectives to meet the challenges posed by climate change at the local and global scale. 

Workshops are open to all York researchers, and will aim to develop research project ideas driven by social science approaches and methods, although researchers from other disciplines are welcome.

Session 4: Co-benefits and synergies

This session will draw together, and explore the overlap between the ideas, challenges and approaches that emerge from the thematic sessions, identifying, where it can, the co-benefits of action-oriented research across them. We will use these discussions to shape plans for future research projects and activities to support the wider social sciences community at York in this space.

This session is part of a series exploring different aspects of climate change and social sciences including:

Session 1: Working with uncertainty and systems thinking (30th October)
