'Degrees of possiblity': Igniting social knowledge around climate change: Workshop Report more

The 'Degrees of Possibility: Igniting Social Knowledge around Climate Change Workshop Report' was completed in June 2011. Authored by Karen Cronin, Brendan Doody and Alison Greenaway it also includes key contributions from Richard Le Heron, Janet Bornman, Matthew Henry, Amanda Wolf and Nick Lewis. The report presents a unique New Zealand take on the current state of social knowledge around climate change, highlights key questions that need to be addressed and potential processes for future engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The report provides a background to the workshop, summaries of the keynote presentations and a record of the ideas developed in the discussion groups and observations of the day. It also includes a summary of ideas for social research and suggests an approach for integrating social science into the wider research agenda on climate change.
