Climate engagement for vulnerable marine ecosystems – Impact of marine tourism experiences on visitors
In the face of escalating climate-related challenges, transformative tourism experiences, such as marine-based tourism, have the potential to drive change, but few studies examine how tourism experiences motivate climate action. This study addressed this gap, investigating how marine-based tourism experiences influenced individual engagement with climate action. We conducted post-visit surveys of tourists (N = 436) who had visited an iconic marin…
Plastic action or distraction? Marine plastic campaigns influence public engagement with climate change in both general and engaged audiences
Climate change poses a key threat to marine ecosystems globally. Yet, contemporary discussions on marine conservation and individual action tend to focus on small lifestyle changes such as reducing plastic use. Some question whether campaigns that target “low impact” behaviours such as those related to plastic distract from broader sustainability goals such as mitigating climate change. However, others suggest that promoting simple behaviours may…
The role of iconic places, collective efficacy, and negative emotions in climate change communication
Communication strategies designed to strengthen individual and community climate action play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and averting worst-case climate scenarios. However, communicating climate change in a way that motivates action remains a significant challenge. Through two experimental surveys with representative samples of Australian residents (n1 =723, n2 =729), we investigated whether climate messages that highlight rel…
