Global change is a phenomenon beyond any single country’s ability to cope with, and international collaborative efforts are being called upon to fully understand its magnitude and associated environmental consequences. This same call exists for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies for community decision-making.

Learning Labs provide useful methods for communities interested in combating the effects of climate change.

Since the beginning of GCS, understanding international dimensions of global change has been the central goal. Addressing climate change and its consequences is at the core of our current research themes.

Recent research efforts have covered the Great Lakes region, East Africa and the coastal region of China and have involved long-term partners from Zhejiang University, China and the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Let’s get started.

Browse Learning Labs by region to find solutions that fit your needs. From there, explore the project goals, methods used, and contact the Learning Lab leader for more information.

We’re in this together. If you find yourself stuck or without a solution, contact us with your story.
