Operationalising knowledge on and for societal transformations in the face of climate change

This white paper by the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) outlines recommendations for utilizing social science and humanities research to drive the societal transformations necessary to address climate change and align with the Paris Agreement.

• The document argues that while scientific evidence of climate change is increasing, coordinated societal action is still lacking, necessitating a shift from describing the problem to creating effective solutions and operationalizing knowledge to mitigate catastrophic impacts.
• The white paper identifies research priorities and knowledge gaps for societal transformation across all levels of society, specifically focusing on social science and humanities research in alignment with the Paris Agreement.
