Overview
Our overarching aim is to generate agenda-setting research that improves understanding of the inter-relationships between people, society and the environment.
Through our innovative research, we seek to investigate key areas of contemporary and historic societal concern including development, climate change, inequalities, land use change, ecosystem services, health and well-being and urbanisation. The ‘lived environment’ refers to those aspects of the earth system/environment that are experienced by people - not as it is purely conceptualised or theorised, but as it is lived. It is a multidisciplinary concept that brings together environmental science, geography, economics, policy, social science and computer science.
