The increasing human use of natural resources induces global environmental change that impacts climate, biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, animals and plants as well as human society. Most research on climate change focuses on uncertainties in climate projections and calculation of mitigation costs. The Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), a French public organization devoted to competitive project funding in both fundamental and applied research, launched two successive three-year calls for proposals on ‘Vulnerability, Climate and Society’ in 2006 and ‘Global Environmental Changes and Society’ in 2009, thus enlarging the topics and recognizing their impacts by developing the concepts of resilience and adaptation. A total number of 75 projects have been financed. More than half of them have a geographical focus on climate change and natural resources in different parts of the world (i.e. France, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean region, and Arctic and Antarctic zones). Most projects are interdisciplinary. Important ethical issues appear in the topics and methods chosen. Some research projects focus on the causes and effects of climate change in the past and in the present. Others are more concerned about what we can do about climate change in the future and its consequences on rural, urban and peri-urban societies. Frequent issues relate to trust, democracy, vulnerability, participation and community development, as well as knowledge gaps and divides. Ethical issues related to global environmental changes are evolving and focusing increasingly on human beings and their behavior.
