Every three years, as part of its strategic partnership with UNESCO, the International Social Science Council produces the World Social Science Report.

The 2013 report issues an urgent call to action to the international social science community to collaborate more effectively with one another, with colleagues from other fields of science, and with users of research, to deliver solutions-oriented knowledge for the most pressing environmental problems we face today.
