About

The DCU Institute for Climate and Society is Ireland’s first academic research centre focused on social science and humanities perspectives on the climate crisis. The Institute’s research, education, and engagement activities start from the premise that the solutions to climate change are available, and that the blocks to action are to be found in social processes and dynamics.

The mission of the Institute is to shape and support societal responses to climate change in Ireland and around the world through high-quality research and expertise.

We are a community of scholars with expertise in media, communications, political science, policy, education, ethics, business, and the environmental humanities.
