The recently established IHSS Climate Emergency Working Group began its work in January 2022 with a view to completing its activity by February 2023. The purpose of this latest faculty Working Group is to examine the Climate Emergency from a distinctively HSS perspective. Through a varied programme of work the group will consider how the Climate Emergency is framed and understood, communicated, and reacted to. It will consider, in particular, the interplay of scientific and social-cultural knowledge and the perspective of a citizens point of view upon the emergency. The group comprises experts drawn from across the faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen Mary.
