This book offers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which research and perspectives from the social sciences and humanities can be combined for a more effective understanding of climate change and its impacts. Climate change affects all aspects of life, influencing personal lifestyle choices and political perceptions. Beyond legal and political measures, the engagement of individuals and local communities has become essential for necessary systemic change. Understanding the complex human and social dynamics is key to achieving real change, in favor of a resilient and low-carbon future.This book highlights the theoretical and practical contributions of the social sciences and humanities in understanding how humans perceive and respond to climate change, and the ways in which they can be combined to fight climate disruption and its effects. These interdisciplinary approaches draw upon fields such as communication sciences, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, educational sciences, management studies, and philosophy, to explore the nexus between climate change and human and social dynamics in individual, collective and political actions.Drawing on a wide range of interesting case studies, the book highlights opportunities for collaboration between disciplines by combining methodological and theoretical components and synthesising the research results. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that a more effective collaboration between the social sciences and humanities is required to fully understand the complexities of our relationship with climate change, and to pave the way to a real ecological transition. The book will be of use to scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners interested in communication studies, psychology, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, management, educational studies, transition studies, and connected fields.

Dr. Cougnon also specializes in data ethics and research ethics. Øyvind Gjerstad is an associate professor of French linguistics at the University of Bergen, Norway. Among his main research interests are linguistic polyphony and the narrativity of deliberative discourse. He has participated in several externally funded research projects on the linguistic and societal aspects of climate change, the last of which is the project "Overcoming Obstacles and Disincentives to Climate Change Mitigation", funded by the Joint Programming Initiative "Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe" (2020-2024).Armelle Nugier is assistant professor of social psychology at Université Clermont Auvergne.
