Liverman studies
Liverman was a co-author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) October 8, 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C.[6][7] Liverman was one of 19 scientists worldwide elected to the Earth Commission in 2019.[8][9] In 2020, Liverman was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[2][10][11]
Education
Diana Liverman was born in Accra, Ghana[12][1] to British parents and grew up in the UK.[13] Liverman earned her B.A. in geography from University College London (1976).[14] She earned her M.A. from the University of Toronto, with a thesis on The coordination of response to drought in the Canadian Prairie Provinces (1979) with advisor Anne U. Whyte.[15]
Liverman did her Ph.D. work at the
Career
Liverman taught geography at the
In 2003 she was appointed to the first Chair in Environmental Science at the University of Oxford[12] and became Director of the Environmental Change Institute, a centre for research, teaching and outreach on the environment at Oxford University.[12]
In 2009 Liverman returned to the University of Arizona as co-Director of the Institute of the Environment with Jonathan Overpeck.[20] She remained in this position until 2016.[21] As of July 2019, Liverman became director of the School of Geography and Development in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Arizona.[9][2]
Liverman was a co-editor of the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources from 2009 to 2015.[22][23] She has served on several national and international committees including the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (chair, 1995-1999)[12] and the NAS Committee on America's Climate Choices.[24][25] She also chaired the scientific advisory committee of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (1998-2002),[12] the Global Environmental Change and Food Systems (GECAFS) program (2006-)[12] and the IHDP Earth System Governance Project. She co-chaired a transition team to create a new international research initiative, Future Earth, for an Alliance of international organizations that include ICSU, UNEP, and UNESCO.[26]
Liverman has served as an author and committee member for multiple reports from the
She serves on the board of a number of organizations including cultural and creative sustainability experts Julie's Bicycle.[31]
Scholarship
Liverman has made many contributions to understanding of the human dimensions of global environmental change. Her publications and research grants deal with climate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, climate change and food security, and climate policy, mitigation and justice especially in the developing world.[4] She has a particular interest in the
Liverman worked on the human impacts of
In recent years she has focused on the international dimensions of climate policy and the growth of the new carbon economy, and is a frequent speaker and commentator on global climate issues.[34] She is a co-author of influential papers on planetary boundaries and Earth system governance.[9]
She has also led several major collaborative research projects, funded mainly by US and European agencies. In 2011 she was part of a group who briefed the Dalai Lama (2011) on climate change.[35][36]
Internationally, Liverman has raised awareness of the importance of the social sciences in understanding impacts of environmental change. The Royal Geographical Society credits Liverman with "promoting the idea that climate impacts depend as much on vulnerability as the physical climate change, and especially showing how changing socioeconomic and political conditions have shifted the patterns of
