Climate justice beliefs related to climate action and policy support around the world - Nature Climate Change
Abstract Climate justice is increasingly prominent in climate change communication and advocacy but little is known about public understanding of the concept or how widely it resonates with different groups. In our global survey of 5,627 adults in 11 countries spanning the global north and south, most participants (66.2%) had never heard of climate justice.
Angry politics fails the climate - Nature Climate Change
Partisan politics is characterized by pejorative generalizations across opposition groups, but, similar to the groups being derogated, not all partisans are the same. Understanding the nature of partisan opposition to climate policy may help promote bipartisan projects to mitigate climate change. Social group membership exerts a strong and consistent bias on the way that we consider information6,7.
Heatwaves: why ethnic minorities in the UK are more vulnerable, and what to do about it Original
Temperatures in the UK recently breached 40°C for the first time in recorded history. The country is set to experience more frequent and more extreme heatwaves as carbon emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere. Heatwaves have worrying implications for human health including sleep loss, mental illness, and increased mortality and suicide rates. In August 2003, over 20,000 people died in Europe during an extreme heatwave.
Ten years to 1.5°C: how climate anxiety is affecting young people around the world - podcast
In this episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast, we speak to a climate scientist who just updated a clock he created that counts down the seconds until the world reaches 1.5°C of global warming. And we hear from experts about the latest evidence on climate anxiety – what it is, how common it is and what to do about it. A core aspiration of the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change was to keep the world within 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels.
BAME groups are underrepresented in polls of public opinion – here's why it matters
The question of systemic racism in Britain has been impossible to avoid over the past year. But what about the more basic question of ensuring that ethnic minority voices are heard? People from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds make up of the UK. However, BAME participants are often hugely underrepresented in “nationally representative” polls, with BAME representation ranging below 10%, and sometimes even 5% or lower. Even more common is the problem of non-reporting.
BAME groups are under-represented in polls of public opinion – here’s why it matters - Climate Outreach
Even more common is the problem of non-reporting. Many UK polls that sample the general population also appear to exclude any mention of ethnicity. This is the case whether the topic is health (recent polls on coping with lockdown, vaccination priorities, or NHS staff wellbeing), politics (government approval ratings, the budget and voting intentions), and even attitudes towards immigration or race (including whether it’s acceptable to make jokes about race).
