Project description
A closer look at climate change in the first millennium
To understand the future, it is important to learn about the past. This applies to climate change, the defining crisis of our time. The ERC-funded SSE1K project will paint a holistic picture of past knowledge, resilience and sustainability, and change how scholars understand the relationships between humans of the past and environmental and climatic fluctuation. Specifically, the project will explore the environmental and climatic changes that have been identified as causes for societal and political processes and events in the Mediterranean in the first millennium CE. This was a time of remarkable change and demographic upheaval. SSE1K will study human activity and environmental change during this time and explain how it was experienced and perceived.
