Abstract
This report describes case study examples of past impacts of Environmental Social Science (ESS) research in order to outline the value of ESS in research and practice. The document has been prepared as a sister output to the ACCESS report “Environmental Social Science: What is it and why do we need it?” (see Gatersleben et al., 2024) in which ESS is defined as “the systematic study of the interrelationship between three dynamic components: people [… ,] the social environment [, and] the natural (non-human) environment” (Gatersleben et al., 2024, p. 4).
