Direct action on climate change – getting to the tree roots

Dr Jenny Wong: The message for the need for action on climate change goes to everyone – but much of dialogue on what to do next has been captured by ‘policy-makers’ supported by research focused on behaviour change as a response to incentives intended to lever pre-defined actions. There is little research looking at what people are doing on their own initiative and why let alone what impact this maybe having on broader climate change objectives. This seminar explores how people individually and collectively are responding to the dual pressures of climate change and cost of living in relation to impacts on woodlands in Wales and how this is worth closer examination.
