Can You Hear Me? Empowering From Afar
This paper explores the impact of student participation in staff recruitment processes at a UK distance learning Higher Education Institution, examining its contribution to quality in teaching and learning. Drawing on Self‐Determination Theory, the study investigates how students’ involvement in high‐level decision‐making affects their sense of agency, wellbeing, and belonging. Using creative, arts‐based methods, three distance students reflected…
Learning from off-grid water use
The infrastructure of modern homes renders water supply invisible. Off-grid houseboat dwellers, however, utilise a water tank that is refilled manually by the householder, leading to a re-evaluation of mundane aspects of everyday life such as bathing. These reappraisals are salient at a time where climate change is creating risks of uncertain, destabilised water supply futures. Through ethnographic interviewing and home tours with 15 off-grid boa…
Social licence in principle and practice
Securing a social licence to operate (SLO) for novel technologies to decarbonise energy-intensive industrial processes in line with the Paris Agreement hinges on their perception as credible and legitimate solutions for climate change mitigation. This will depend on mutual trust between industry, government and civil society actors at different scales, with a broad alignment of these diverse perspectives around a common intent. This research exte…
A Place-based, Just Transition framework can guide industrial decarbonisation with a social licence
A growing policy focus in many economies is decarbonising energy-intensive industries such as steel, chemicals, and cement, responsible for a quarter of global CO 2 emissions. While policy discourses underscore the need for rapid, cost-effective industrial decarbonization, how to implement decarbonization in ways that are fair and just to workers and local communities and build a social licence to operate remains unclear. This perspective address…
Realising a locally-embedded just transition
Emotions and lung cancer screening
Low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening has mortality benefits. Yet, uptake has been low. To inform strategies to better deliver and promote screening, in 2018, we interviewed 27 long-term smokers immediately following lung cancer screening in Australia, prior to receiving scan results. Existing lung screening studies employ the Health Belief Model. As smokers, interviewees described feeling stigmatised, with female participants intern…
Participatory utopian sketching
Explorations of emerging urban spatial futures increasingly depend on the empathetic interweaving of broad political ideals with grounded democratic involvement. The collaborative planning paradigm (CP) and participatory action research (PAR) have thus gained traction globally, since they centralise meaningful involvement of those with lived experiences of the local environment. Building upon this, we argue that ‘utopia’ can offer an alternative …
Financing grassroots innovation diffusion pathways
Transformations for climate change mitigation
Deep, broad, and rapid society‐wide changes are urgently required to limit global temperature rise in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Since 2005, academics and policy makers have increasingly referred to such changes as transformations . This recent uptake and rapid diffusion of transformation‐related concepts in research on climate change mitigation calls for a systematic and up‐to‐date analysis. In this article, we address this gap …
Low carbon system innovation through an energy justice lens
The long term future for community energy in Great Britain
How can we engage farmers in bioenergy development? Building a social innovation strategy for rice straw bioenergy in the Philippines and Vietnam
Involving farmers and local communities in bioenergy development is important for the deployment of sustainable bioenergy systems, especially if rural areas are to maximise potential co-benefits from energy provision. Focusing on rice straw bioenergy in the Philippines and Vietnam, our research explored how farmers’ social networks can serve as a platform for social innovation – an emerging approach to energy transitions aimed at delivering solut…
The Time Machine
This article explores how museums can help empower people to engage constructively with climate change, through applying a range of time-related concepts to their exhibitions and events. Museums are mostly collections of the past. Climate change now and future presents particular challenges as it is perceived to be psychologically distant. The link between this distance and effective climate action is complex and presents an opportunity for museu…
Evaluating the use of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage in low emission scenarios
Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is heavily relied upon in scenarios of future emissions that are consistent with limiting global mean temperature increase to 1.5 C or 2 C above pre-industrial. These temperature limits are defined in the Paris Agreement in order to reduce the risks and impacts of climate change. Here, we explore the use of BECCS technologies in a reference scenario and three low emission scenarios generated …
Food related routines and energy policy
This paper explores the interlinkages between energy demand and food-related routines, to understand how routines that benefit energy demand management throughout the food system might be encouraged. Building on existing social science research, focus group data are used to examine the routines of people in three work-life situations; working parents, city dwellers, and empty nesters. A critical space in which to examine aspects of everyday life …
Perceived Safety, Quality and Cultural Competency of Maternity Care for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Women in Queensland
Different scenarios for achieving radical reduction in carbon emissions
Regional Renewable Energy Policy
In 2003, the UK Government adopted a target to reduce carbon emissions by 60 percent by 2050, a longer term commitment than is required under the Kyoto Protocol. Given that increasing low carbon generating capacity is essential to achieve the required carbon reductions, renewable energy policies are a central element of overall climate change policy. To facilitate the building of renewable capacity, greater responsibility has been placed upon the…
