Public engagement and climate change
Public engagement has a key role in the social transformations needed to address climate change, one form of which is climate conversations. This research focuses on a widespread and conversational space - hair salons. It engaged with sustainable salons across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland to explore these conversations in two studies. Thirty salon owners/directors were interviewed about hairdressers’ engagement with clients about cl…
Just business? Rethinking the role of small and medium enterprise climate action through a just transition lens
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are critical to achieving climate action goals but are neglected in policy and academic debates. Current SME climate and energy policies are failing to address the complexity and vulnerability of SMEs in the transition to a low carbon economy, often treating these organisations as a homogeneous group, with dominant narratives that appeal to economic or moral imperatives to decarbonise, without recognising…
Parenting and climate change
Climate change is an intergenerational issue, with parents uniquely positioned to influence both current emissions and future generations’ environmental attitudes. This study explores the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours of parents in the UK regarding climate change, assessing their ‘carbon capability’. Using data from a nationally representative survey ( n = 1001), in-depth interviews ( n = 30), and focus groups ( n = 7), we found that parenth…
Accelerating renewable heat
Heat decarbonisation is needed rapidly and at scale to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Shared-loop ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are an under-researched technology with potential to deliver clean heat at scale. These involve the installation of connected GSHPs for a group of homes, a whole street or apartment building, with shared use of deep boreholes, coupled with individual heat pumps installed in each property. However, a range of…
Carbon capability revisited
The urgent need to address climate change requires widespread behavioural changes and structural reforms. However, the adoption of low-carbon practices is limited by individual, social and structural constraints. Carbon capability (CC) is an interdisciplinary, integrative framework which bridges the gap between individual-level behaviours and systemic change. This article develops a new theoretical framework for CC, with insights from the capabil…
Energy saving in a hurry
Crisis and opportunity
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are key actors in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Their aggregate emissions are significant, and they are disproportionately affected by climate impacts, including extreme weather events. SMEs also play a vital role in shaping the environmental behaviours of individuals, communities, and other businesses. However, these organisations have been largely neglected by climate policies across all lev…

A bridge over troubled water? Flood insurance and the governance of climate change adaptation
Floods are one of the most commonly occurring natural hazard events globally, and present a significant threat to the UK from climate change. Operating since 2016, Flood Re is an industry-government initiative, set up with the goal of reforming the flood insurance market in order to provide universal, affordable cover for UK households. Principally providing reinsurance services to insurers and including mutualisation arrangements, it aims to wit…
Influence of anthropogenic landscape modifications and infrastructure on the geological characteristics of liquefaction
Behavioural economics vs social practice theory
This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the role of the social sciences in influencing energy and environmental policy. It presents the views of research professionals inside government on the apparent stand-off between proponents of behavioural economics and adopters of social practice theory in academic energy research. Drawing on auto-ethnographic insights and interviews with government social researchers (GSRs) working on energy and c…
Policy implementation as practice? Using social practice theory to examine multi-level governance efforts to decarbonise transport in the United Kingdom
An ethnography of energy demand and working from home
The practice of working from home has become widespread in developed countries, and the numbers of regular home workers are steadily increasing. There are potentially positive implications for energy consumption associated with home working, but these depend on myriad variables. This qualitative study, based on interviews with regular home workers, provides a more in-depth perspective on how and why energy is used compared with quantitative model…
