Abstract: | This paper gives an overview of social science challenges in global environmental research. After a sketch of backgrounds, the ‘social dilemma’ is introduced as a major research question. It is asserted that current uncertainties over global environmental change provoke innovative studies on risk behaviour and management of long-range, largely unpredictable, phenomena. Various illustrations of new research initiatives and directions are given. |
