About the Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Research Network

The Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Research Network brings together scientists, policymakers, educators, and community leaders to explore the causes and consequences of a rapidly changing climate. Member-based and scholar-led, the Network fosters rigorous, cross-disciplinary dialogue on adaptation, mitigation, and resilience.

Oveview

Founded in 2009, the Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Research Network was established to connect research and policy in addressing the complex challenges of global climate change. Over the past decade and a half, it has evolved into an international forum for evidence-based inquiry and knowledge exchange.

Our work unfolds across three interconnected platforms:

Annual Conference

The International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses convenes each year in partnership with leading universities and research institutes. Each meeting explores new data, policy frameworks, and local perspectives shaping our understanding of climate systems and their human consequences.

Journal Collection:

The Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Journal Collection publishes peer-reviewed research across disciplines—integrating natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and policy studies.

Book Imprint:

The Climate Change Book Imprint presents monographs and edited collections advancing theoretical and applied perspectives on sustainability, adaptation, and governance.

Research Network Chair

The Network is chaired by Dr. Victoria Hurth, Fellow at the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (UK). Her work bridges climate science, organizational strategy, and social ethics—reflecting the interdisciplinary spirit of the Network.
