How do a changing climate and a changing society shape one another? Our research is organised in three disciplinary pillars and six cross-cutting programmes, each shared between partner institutions.
Climate observation, reanalysis and regional modelling; detection and attribution of extremes; projections for Romania and the Black Sea region.
Environmental history, climate memory and narrative, ethics of adaptation, and the cultural dimensions of environmental change.
High-resolution projections, heatwaves, drought and heavy precipitation over Romania and South-Eastern Europe.
Sectoral impacts on agriculture, water, health and cities; adaptation options and their costs and co-benefits.
National survey panels on risk perception, behaviour change and public support for climate policy.
The economics of mitigation and adaptation, governance arrangements and just-transition pathways.
Oral histories of environmental change, media narratives and effective climate communication.
Shared data infrastructure linking climate, social and cultural datasets; co-designed scenarios for Romania 2050.
Each of the six programmes is co-led by two disciplines and hosted by at least two of the six partner institutions — so every result crosses an institutional boundary.

Short, decision-ready syntheses for national and local authorities on climate risks and responses.
Teaching resources, public lectures and exhibitions bringing climate-and-society research to wider audiences.
