The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) was a research programme that studied the human and societal aspects of the phenomenon of global change.

IHDP aimed to frame, develop and integrate social science research on global change, and promote the application of its key findings. It strived to develop research approaches that put societies at the center of the debate, looking at then-current global environmental problems as social and societal challenges.{{Cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100612013341/http://www.ihdp.unu.edu/article/IHDP_Strategic_Plan?menu=84 | archive-date = 12 June 2010 | url-status = dead

IHDP’s work brought together groups of multi-disciplinary and multi-national researchers to work on long-term collaborative science. Its former role within the scientific field provided leadership in the selection and development of themes for focused research and in stimulating scientific communities to coordinate their efforts on these themes within the framework of its projects.

IHDP research was conducted through ten projects.{{Cite web | access-date = 2023-10-07 | archive-date = 2008-09-19 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080919092853/http://www.ihdp.unu.edu/article/IHDP_Scientific_Portfolio?menu=6 | url-status = dead

History

IHDP was initiated as the Human Dimensions Programme (HDP) in 1990 by the International Social Science Council (ISSC). It was established under its closing name International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change by ISSC and International Council for Science (ICSU) in 1996. In 2006, the United Nations University joined ISSC and ICSU as an institutional sponsor of IHDP. The organization closed its doors in July 2014.

A large part of the research agenda of the former International Human Dimensions Programme has been carried forward by the Earth System Governance Project.

Secretariat

The IHDP Secretariat was located at the United Nations Campus in Bonn, Germany, and was hosted by the United Nations University.
