Humans are causing environmental changes, are affected by them, and are the only actors who can address them. Societies currently dominate the Earth's great biophysical cycles and are responsible for the most pressing environmental challenges of our day, including climate change, and the loss of biodiversity. There is no way to address these challenges without altering human behaviour, both individually and collectively. IHDP provides insights into these critical topics, researching how humans affect the environment, how they are affected by it, and how to respond to these changes. Alongside the natural, life, and environmental sciences, IHDP's perspective - that which view global problems as social and societal challenges - is imperative to the successful adaptation to and mitigation of these risks. |
