Climate Change and History Research Initiative (CCHRI) updates We are pleased to share the Spring 2026 Climate Change and History Research Initiative (CCHRI) newsletter and a publication update: UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES COALITION support for increased interdisciplinarity in sustainability science: recommendations at the five-year mark from a policy relevance perspective.
Princeton University’s Climate Change and History Research Initiative (CCHRI) a co-lead in the BRIDGES CUNY-Princeton Hub, is partnering with The Istanbul Department of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) to shed light on socio-ecological approaches to the history and archaeology of Anatolia.
CCHRI, in collaboration with the Human Development Report Office of the UN, hosted the CCHRI’s annual colloquium, addressing the contemporary challenge of the value of the concept of an Anthropocene, and in particular what its heuristic value might be in addressing global environmental challenges, and whether a historical perspective contributes constructively to building such a strategy.
The CCHRI annual entry-level workshop took place as usual in January and introduced over twenty participants from the fields of history and archaeology to the palaeoecological sciences and their relevance to historical and archaeological research.
Here follows details of recent Climate Change and History Research Initiative (CCHRI) related publications. CCHRI is a lead partner in the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES CUNY-Princeton Thematic Hub. The first three publications below are specifically relevant to CCHRI’s BRIDGES-related projects:
