Environment and Society

Exploring solutions to environmental problems.

We are an interdisciplinary network of scholars, from all career stages across the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law, who work on environmental problems, broadly conceived.

Our goal

Social sciences and law play a critical role in researching environmental problems, offering solutions and impacting policy.

Our goal is to build connections, share methods, and communicate with interested parties from academia, industry, and society to increase the Faculty’s impact on solving environmental problems.

Our research themes

Our group's research themes are:

  • Climate Justice and Democracy
  • Behaviour, Public Opinion and Civic Engagement
  • Energy and Sustainability
  • Governance
  • Pollution, Health and Food
  • Transforming Economy, Society and Culture
