🚨 3 funded PhDs available at @uniofeastanglia on social dynamics of publics, politicians and organisations on climate action and net zero. Available to students with an MA and who have UK citizenship or do not require a visa to study. More info here: cast.ac.uk/cast-careers/

🚨Delighted to share a new @CAST_Centre policy briefing I've led with colleagues Andy Jordan, Irene Lorenzoni and @LucasGeese on the impact of politics on ambitious climate policies, as played out with the German 'heat hammer' of last year cast.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

Climate public opinion people, this is one for you: everything about climate change-related survey questions asked in more than 315 public opinion polls worldwide! @_johnkenny @TyndallCentre @CAST_Centre @ClimateUEA_

New article from John Kenny , Lucas Geese , Andrew Jordan and Irene Lorenzoni reviews the usage of climate change questions in public opinion surveys & provides an overview of the types of concepts that can be elicited from these. @_johnkenny @LucasGeese doi.org/10.1080/096440…

During the UK election campaign I noticed that nobody was talking about the areas central to the work done by @CAST_Centre (cars, flying, diet, heating). AND, as a qual researcher, I love analysing party manifestos.🤓 Hey presto! This resulted in a blog! cast.ac.uk/the-2024-uk-el…

🍊Fresh out! 🗒️In their note, @LucasGeese, @chantalS_T, @_johnkenny, Andy Jordan & Irene Lorenzoni explore conceptual complexities inherent to the nature of #climatechange and the impact this has on text-as-data 👉 bit.ly/3M48jZ3 #OA #TADA #comparativepolitics #policy

The British public are pretty clear on how they see those involved in the recent riots. "Thugs", "Rioters", "Racist", and "Far-right" are words a majority of Brits would use. "People with legitimate concerns" is chosen by just 16%, while the "far-left" is picked by just 7%.

Proud to have worked on this under the superb leadership of @LucasGeese! We highlight the need for TADA researchers to have a sufficient qualitative understanding of climate politics and policy in the country cases they study to overcome conceptual challenges

Big thanks to my co-authors: @chantalS_T @_johnkenny Andy Jordan and Irene Lorenzoni. Also a shout-out to the wider DeepDCarb Team @SimonSchaub5 @jale_tosun @DrBrendanMoore Christin Heinz-Fischer, Joan Enguer and Emiliano Levario (deepdcarb.org)

📢 Publication Alert! Wondering about how to measure climate policy content in text-as-data? Our new OPEN ACCESS article might provide (some) answers: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @CAST_Centre @ClimateUEA_ @TyndallCentre

Delighted to see our special issue on climate policy expansion and dismantling published in @JCPA_ICPA - a great collection of papers on drivers and barriers to climate action! tandfonline.com/toc/fcpa20/26/…

Interested in the politics of climate change? Then look at this! “Politicians and Climate Change: a systematic review” in @WIREs_Reviews: wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wc… @CAST_Centre @TyndallCentre @ClimateUEA_

Read the paper to learn all about it! A shout out to all co-authors: @DrBrendanMoore @LucasGeese @_johnkenny Harriet Dudley Andrew Jordan @AlbaPradosP Irene Lorenzoni @SimonSchaub5 Joan Enguer @jale_tosun

To address this, we – colleagues at @Brussels_School @ueaenv & @Politics_SAI – have conducted this review. We find a relatively small, interdisciplinary, yet growing research area. Crucial research gaps are identified and unpacked.

The @CAST_Centre has published "How not to transform: Learning from the backlash against low-carbon heating policy in Germany" has been published" written by Andy Jordan, Irene Lorenzoni, Lucas Geese, and Dr. Chantal Sullivan-Thomsett Read here: cast.ac.uk/resources/brie…

As @energygovuk officials give evidence to @CommonsPAC on government's plans to decarbonise home heating, some politicians and policymakers may want to learn from what happened in Germany in this policy area. Our new @CAST_Centre briefing does just that! tinyurl.com/2uxe9kra

We are delighted to announce that the call for papers for #EPOP2024 is now open! This will take place at the University of Manchester from 11-13 September. Deadline for applications is 21st May. To submit, please follow this link: shorturl.at/abkCT

A showcase of how party politics shape the decarbonisation of homes: great policy brief by @chantalS_T based on 34 (!) interviews with German MPs!
