International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP)

The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) was an international research initiative that focused on understanding how human activities impact the environment and how social, economic, and political factors influence environmental change. It aimed to promote collaborative research across disciplines to find effective ways for societies to adapt to and mitigate environmental challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion. Operating until 2014, IHDP helped inform policy decisions by providing knowledge on the complex interactions between humans and the environment, emphasizing that sustainable solutions require integrating scientific insights with societal understanding.
