International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP)

The International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) is a global research initiative that studies how human activities, societies, and policies influence and are affected by environmental changes, especially in areas like climate change, biodiversity, and resource use. It aims to better understand human behaviors and societal systems to develop solutions that promote sustainable development. By combining insights from social sciences, natural sciences, and policy, IHDP helps inform decision-makers on how to address complex environmental challenges effectively and equitably.
