A ‘New Civil Politics’ of Climate Change? An examination of contemporary climate communication, actions and policies in the UK
People Involved
Project Description
The proposed research will examine whether, and in what form, a new ‘civil politics’ of climate change is emerging from recent populist climate events in the UK and around the world. These events include school climate strikes and declarations of a climate emergency, which in the context of uncertainty surrounding Brexit have generated new social, political and economic pressures within the UK state. The aim of the study is to identify, and account for, some key elements of a ‘new civil politics’ of climate change emerging at the local and national scales across the UK.
