From denial to delay, climate obstruction tactics appear to be thriving. Climate Obstruction Across Europe, coordinated by the Climate Social Science Network (CSSN) and published via Oxford University Press, reveals extensive networks impeding climate action within the region and surrounding states.
CSSN sheds light on the actors and organizations engaged in climate obstruction–who they are, their characteristics, motivations, funding and tactics. We advance research on how these climate obstruction activities have an impact on the media and public understanding of climate change, and how they affect climate policy.
The CSSN Scholar Community is a vibrant group of climate experts. Our Scholars are the heart of our work and the engine that drives our impact. They’re based all over the world and specialize in a variety of focus areas and country-specific topics.
We foster research on global climate obstruction by awarding grants and fellowships.
