Ioan Fazey, Frank Geels, Bronwyn Hayward, Susi Moser, Petra Tschakert and other experts from the sustainability science community took part in a discussion on opportunities for social science in the forthcoming Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the impacts of global warming 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways.

- Transforming lives locally and globally @CECHR_UoD http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cechr/ Climate change changes everything Meeting goal of 1.5oC Not meeting goal of 1.5oC = significant change = significant change Need to accelerate learning about making deliberate change happen
- Transforming lives locally and globally @CECHR_UoD http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cechr/ Understanding the problem In what way does change need to happen? How to facilitate change? What needs to change? Identifying solutions Putting solutions into practice
- Transforming lives locally and globally @CECHR_UoD http://www.dundee.ac.uk/cechr/ Experience • Highlighted that the process struggling with what the nature and role of science should be; • The credibility of science is assumed to depend on its ability to be ‘objective’, which limits engagement with questions about how to make change happen; • Considerable debate about extent to which the process could be prescriptive. e.g. difference between identifying ‘options’ and exploring ‘approaches’; • There were considerable misunderstandings about the nature of the social sciences, including how it can be rigorous.

Identifying solutions Putting solutions into practice Focus on ‘evidence’ from past studies Focus on modelling future pathways Focus on innovation, learning by doing
