C-Urge Results
 

C-URGE is designed to generate both academic excellence and practical tools that help society better understand and act on climate urgency. At the heart of the project are twelve PhD dissertations and a collective book, which together will advance critical reflection on how climate change is experienced, narrated, and addressed across different contexts. Beyond these major academic results, C-URGE will deliver a range of outputs that make the project’s insights more accessible, including an eco-ethnography inspired lexicon, two policy toolkits offering frameworks for qualitative investigation and applied action, a methodological recommendation paper, a white paper with actionable guidance, as well as policy briefs and reflection papers produced by our doctoral researchers. Together, these results will not only enrich the academic conversation but also deliver practical tools for policymakers, communities, and civil society. By connecting transdisciplinary ethnographic insights with practical resources, C-URGE aims to ensure that findings can inform both policy and practice.  ​

​

Beyond these major academic results, C-URGE will deliver the following public outputs by 2027:

• Eco-Ethnography: A methodological protocol for an anthropology of global climate urgency

• An eco-ethnography inspired lexicon on climate urgency

• A methodological recommendation paper (PDF) that sets out guidelines for qualitative research into climate urgency.

• Two C-URGE Policy Toolkits:

  • one providing a framework to qualitatively investigate climate urgency,

  • and another designed to distill applied action from the climate science produced.

• A white paper (PDF) with actionable recommendations for applying the project’s climate science.

• A collection of policy briefs (PDFs) written by our doctoral candidates, drawing on their field research and international secondment experiences.

• Ten reflection papers (PDFs) exploring opportunities for the future exploitation and application of climate science.
