Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change - ENSPAC conduct research and education in topics related to interactions between humans and their environmental, social and spatial conditions, and take a holistic approach to solving complex environmental and societal problems. Due to integration of traditional disciplines within the department novel perspectives and solutions to these problems are provided.

In relation to the climate development, research in climate changes is done with interdisciplinary perspectives by both natural and social scientists with focus on the effects of the climate changes as well as on how to minimise these effects in a broad range of sectors.
