No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or qualification. Rachel Howell September 2012 1 2 Abstract Climate change is a pressing problem and substantial reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions that cause it are necessary to avert the worst impacts predicted. The UK has targeted an 80% reduction from 1990 emissions levels by 2050. This thesis investigates how to promote behavioural changes that will reduce emissions associated with individuals’ lifestyles, which comprise a significant proportion of the UK total.

The apparent potential of fear as a meaningful driver for political and behavioural change has been mobilised by a wide range of pressure groups, including environmentalists, seeking to engage in today’s ‘post-political’ terrain.

Contents 1. Summary 2. Climate and environment: the facts for various audiences 3. The evidence on climate change causes 4. Monitoring and evaluating climate change 5. Global effects/impacts of climate change 6. Barriers and solutions The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned. Helpdesk reports are not rigorous or systematic reviews; they are intended to provide an introduction to the most important evidence related to a research question. They draw on a rapid desk- based review of published literature and consultation with subject specialists. Helpdesk reports are commissioned by the UK Department for International Development and other Government departments, but the views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of DFID, the UK Government, K4D or any other contributing organisation. For further information, please contact [email protected]. 1. Summary Climate and the environment affect us all, as do any changes to them. Therefore, it is important to understand the basics on the causes of these changes, as well as how these changes affect people and the potential impacts, and how people are and can deal with these impacts.

  • Climate Change and Kyoto – Is It All Necessary?” It Is from the Wind Farm Scam, Published by Stacey International ISBN 978-1-905299-83-6
    Ofgem Project Discovery - Options for delivering secure and sustainable energy supplies I confess to having little faith that what I say will honestly be taken into full account, but at least I am not succumbing to passivity and failure to engage because of cynicism about this critical exercise. In view of the relevance of this contribution, if I receive only a stock acknowledgement, I‟ll know not to waste my time in future. The consumer is between a rock and a hard place. Busy people, worried about employment prospects and making ends meet, have to trust that their interests are being protected - but ever increasingly misgivings are surfacing. Every time there is an article on AGW and/or the flawed wind turbine „solution‟, it is usual for 90% or more of reader comments to be highly critical of the „orthodox‟ position. If Ofgem isn‟t championing the consumer, who will? Affordable, dependable energy is the lifeblood of our economy and way of life. The subject could hardly be more important. Yet there is no proper debate allowing conflicting evidence and points of view to be reconciled. Ed Miliband for one is guilty of reviling those raising legitimate concerns as antisocial. The term „denier‟ is too often bandied about by those choosing not to acknowledge they have a political, ideological, or financial conflict of interest. The situation is a mess. Let us be clear about claimed Co2 driven AGW - it is NOT settled science. There is no consensus. Climate is changing, it always has and always will. Suitably qualified scientists state that there has been cooling these last 10 or more years.

  • Understanding Why Artists Are Important Contributors to the Climate Change Conversation
    GETTING TO KNOW THE ARTIST: UNDERSTANDING WHY ARTISTS ARE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE CONVERSATION by Claudia Morgado B.F.A., Concordia University 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2012 © Claudia Morgado, 2012 Abstract Finding avenues of communication to get different members of society to commit to engage in personal actions to determine the outcome of climate change is of great concern and priority to all communicators. The academic literature suggests that research has demonstrated that in order to access a people’s desire to change is most successfully reached if they are given different alternatives and decision-making power in addition to addressing their emotions using images and the imagination. Art, as history has demonstrated when it engages in a dialogue with its viewer, has tremendous power to encourage people to reflect on their thoughts and actions, and can act as a catalyst for change. Art is also an intrinsic tool for human communication and education. The purpose of this research was to achieve a deeper understanding in the importance that art can play in engaging people in climate change action by delving in an analysis of the inquiry process of the artist. This research employs a qualitative methodology. One on one interviews were conducted with nine artists working in different artistic medium, but share the need to dialogue with their audience their concerns for the environment. Secondary source data was added by interviewing three scientists working in fields of study that concerned climate change issues.

  • Empathy and Climate Change Krznaric
    EMPATHY AND CLIMATE CHANGE Proposals for a Revolution of Human Relationships Roman Krznaric 1 A PASSAGE TO INDIA ‘Jenna Meredith can empathise more than most with the 4.5 million people made homeless by flooding in South Asia after her home in Hull, UK, was hit by flooding earlier this year. She travelled to Orissa in eastern India with Oxfam to meet families who have lost their homes.’ Photo: Chris Worral/Oxfam Photo: Robin Hammond/Oxfam This story appeared on the Oxfam website in August 2007. In June that year, the worst flooding in Britain for sixty years had destroyed Jenna’s home. Not only had she and her two daughters lost their worldly possessions, but due to financial pressures, she had stopped paying her house insurance six months earlier. Jenna became a spokesperson for local residents on her housing estate who felt that the government was doing too little to help them.
