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.
We are proud to share a new publication reflecting over two years of immersive research with coracle fishermen. This work centres the people, the lived experience, and the rich traditions of this unique heritage fishery, while highlighting the challenges it faces and the vital role it plays today.
What turns a biophilic building into a home? The answer lies not only in its design, but in how people experience, adapt and care for the spaces around them. As future residents of the Biome prepare to move into their new homes, Project REPAIR is exploring this transition through anthropological research.
Editors: John F. Haldon, Ricardo Fernandes. This open-access volume addresses critical hurdles in scale, systemic complexity, information exchange, systems modelling, and policy applicability. Its primary objective is to enhance the real-world utility of academic findings by bridging history, computational systems modelling, and governance. By synthesising insights from historians, archaeologists, complex systems modelers, and sustainability professionals, the volume generates practical knowledge to guide policies targeting pressing modern challenges. Among contributions, is a chapter by BRIDGES Dr. Luci Attala exploring the creative complications of transdisciplinary research.
Returning to our series highlighting significant publications in 2025, we spotlight the Young Person’s Toolkit for Responsible Project Management: How To Get Things Done. It challenges traditional, highly technical views of project management, offering a fresh approach tailored to youth leaders and changemakers. The core objective is to bridge the gap between abstract ideas and tangible impact while prioritising the wellbeing of both people and the planet.
