Framing Climate Change: What inspires us to care?

Environment Themed Libyan desert landscape. The ground looks dry and there is one leafless tree and some dry bushes in the background.

What’s on offer?

During the session our expert panel and audience will be invited to take part in a live version of the experiment and reflect on their interpretations and what they and others can do.

What’s it about?

This session introduces an international experiment that tests whether framing climate change as an opportunity vs threat; an environmental vs health vs economic issue; now vs in the future; personal vs global; makes people more or less likely to support climate change policies.

Who’s leading the event?

Professor David Hudson (University of Birmingham), Dr Niheer Dasandi (University of Birmingham), Camilla Tham (Natural History Museum)
