“Addressing the climate crisis in all its complexity requires new interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, incorporating theoretical and methodological frameworks from the Social Sciences and Humanities. This book is therefore an excellent example of the kind of collaborative, open and inclusive research that can best inform and enrich European climate policies.”                           Pilar Paneque, Professor of Human Geography and Director of the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), Spain. “Good, effective, and engaging climate policy requires understanding the problem from multiple perspectives, and only has a chance if it is built on solid, interdisciplinary scientific knowledge. This book is an excellent contribution to this discussion and gives policymakers many profound inputs.”                       Per Espen Stoknes, Climate Psychologist and former member of the Norwegian Parliament. “The tough still compelling need for the EU to achieve its climate neutrality ambitions can only benefit from the interdisciplinary and inclusive approach SSH can offer. I acknowledge the innovative insights for the design and implementation of effective and just climate policies that this book provides.” Maria Kottari, Principal Consultant Green Economy & Innovation, Technopolis Group.
