22 February 2014

The World Social Science Report 2013 issues an urgent call to action to the international social science community to collaborate more effectively with each other, with colleagues from other fields of science, and with the users of research to deliver solutions-oriented knowledge on today’s most pressing environmental problems. It calls for a transformative social science that is bolder, better, bigger, different.

The IRDR’s contribution to the Report can be found in the section “Contributions from International Social Science Council members, programmes and partners” pp. 540-541.
