Abstract: The important contribution of the social sciences to research on a wide range of environmental issues is increasingly being recognised, and a major programme of the Economic and Social Research Council is focusing particularly on aspects of risk, rural land use, environmental economics, and energy conservation. The programme emphasises a cross-disciplinary approach to research and some of the reasons for this are discussed in this paper, and also the difficulties of putting it into practice.
