项目摘要

Climate change is an area of environmental science with far reaching social, political and cultural implications. How members of the public think about and engage with the science of climate change - and the consequences for everyone's lives - is a crucial piece of the puzzle for making progress on climate change as a society. Effective adaptation policies, national targets for energy efficiency, and rapid decarbonisation through energy technologies all depend on committed and sustained public engagement. This means that in addition to a solid evidence base on climate science, the science of communicating climate change is critical too The Climate Consortium project aims to provide the 'infrastructure' to ensure that efforts to engage the public on climate change are coordinated, effective and based on the most up-to-date evidence from academic studies and tried-and-tested practitioner expertise. The project team includes internationally recognised specialists on public engagement, high profile science communicators and a blend of climate science, social science and communications expertise. Using our networks and experience, we will ensure that the Climate Consortium is an inclusive one year programme, producing evidence-based but accessible resources to catalyse public engagement with climate change at a national scale. The first stage of the Climate Consortium project involves an 'audit' of the diverse pool of expertise on public engagement with climate change that already exists in the UK. Rather than 'reinvent the wheel', we will identify opportunities for better coordinating and drawing value from existing initiatives, including producing a publicly available register of climate change public engagement expertise. But public engagement experience is only one side of the equation - central to the Climate Consortium project is working closely with diverse representatives of public groups (including Refugee Action and regional Community Centres) to identify and establish possible channels for effectively reaching beyond the 'usual suspects' with climate change communication, and instead creating a dialogue with diverse communities and who bring new and distinct perspectives. A key output for the project will be a website that captures areas of agreement and 'consensus' between experts on public engagement (and areas of disagreement), and presents them in an easy-to-use tool for public engagement practitioners. This is crucial so that the diverse range of individuals and organisations undertaking public engagement on climate change in the UK can access a trusted and reliable source of guidance on strategies and approaches for effective communication and dialogue.

气候变化是环境科学领域，具有遥远的社会，政治和文化影响。公众如何思考和参与气候变化科学以及对每个人生活的后果 - 是在社会中取得气候变化的进展的重要困难。有效的适应政策，国家能源效率的国家目标以及通过能源技术快速脱碳的目标，都取决于承诺和持续的公众参与。这意味着，除了基于气候科学的扎实证据之外，交流气候变化的科学也至关重要。气候财团项目旨在提供“基础设施”，以确保与公众有关气候变化的努力，是基于学术研究的最新证据，并有效地进行了学术研究，并尝试了实验室的实践者专业知识。该项目团队包括有关公众参与，知名科学传播者以及气候科学，社会科学和传播专业知识的国际认可的专家。利用我们的网络和经验，我们将确保气候财团是一项包含的一年计划，生产基于证据但可访问的资源，以促进公众在全国范围内与气候变化的参与。气候财团项目的第一阶段涉及对英国已经存在的气候变化的公众参与方面的各种专业知识的“审计”。我们将没有“重新发明轮子”，而是为了从现有计划中获得更好的协调和汲取价值的机会，包括生产公开可用的气候变化登记册公众参与专业知识。但是，公众参与经验只是方程式的一面 - 气候财团项目的核心是与公共团体（包括难民行动和区域社区中心）的不同代表紧密合作，可以识别和建立可能有效地达到与气候变化沟通的“通常嫌疑犯”的渠道，而是与各种社区和各种社区进行对话，并带来了新的和不同的观点。该项目的关键输出将是一个网站，该网站捕获了公众参与（以及分歧和分歧领域）之间的协议领域和“共识”，并将其呈现为公共参与从业者易于使用的工具。这至关重要，因此，在英国进行公众参与的个人和组织各种各样的个人和组织可以获取有关有效沟通和对话的策略和方法的可信赖和可靠的指导来源。
