Environmental issues are ultimately social issues. They are caused by, understood by, and must be

solved by, people as individuals, groups, communities, political and institutional systems.

However, the value of environmental social sciences is not always clearly understood or valued. Therefore, we co-created a description of ESS outlining the fields core principles and complexities and explaining where, when and how it is valuable to engage with ESS.

This slide deck captures this description. It can be used by anyone wishing to champion or engage with environmental social sciences.
