ABOUT IHDP

The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) is an international, interdisciplinary science programme, dedicated to promoting, catalyzing and coordinating research, capacity-development and networking on the human dimensions of global environmental change. It takes a social science perspective on global change and works on the interface between science and practice. IHDP is a joint programme of the International Council for Science (ICSU), the International Social Science Council (ISSC) and the United Nations University (UNU).

IHDP fosters high-quality research and is carrying out various core science projects. These are strongly conceptualized and supported by IHDP. The Integrated Risk Governance Project is also applying for becoming a new core science project and is planning to be fully recognized by 2009.
