Klima og samfunn

Forskningsgruppen jobber med omstillingsprosesser mot et klimatilpasset lavutslippssamfunn. Vi ser på samspillet mellom prosesser og aktører på flere nivåer, og bruker kvalitative og kvantitative metoder for å studere hvordan grupper og individer både påvirker og responderer på sosiale, politiske og naturlige endringer.

Climate and society

In the Climate and society group, we do research on and for transformation processes towards a low-emission and climatically adapted society. In doing so, we analyze interactions between relevant processes and actors at different scales in order to produce high-quality research that is applicable for various societal actors.
