Abstract
The UK Economic and Social Research Council's Global Environmental Change (GEC) research programme aims “to take the social sciences to the heart of environmental debate and to bring the environment to the heart of the social sciences”. The experience of researchers working within the GEC programme highlights the need for a much better understanding of what this might mean in practice in the light of the diverse academic and policy contexts within which socio-environmental knowledge is produced and communicated. Particularly significant, in the light of current concerns about user-oriented dissemination of social science, is the diversity of ways in which socio-environmental researchers engage with actors in environmental policy arenas. These features suggest an important new role for socio-environmental research policy.
