Founded in 2009, The Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Research Network is brought together by a common concern for the science of, and social responses to, climate change. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Fifteenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2023 Special Focus—Responding to Climate Change: Governing the Climate Emergency
Theme 1: The Nature of Evidence

Theme 2: Assessing Impacts in Diverse Ecosystems Themes

Theme 3: Human Impacts and Responsibility Theme

Theme 4: Technical, Political, and Social Responses
