DIVING DEEPER INTO CLIMATE CHANGE – FROM HIDDEN EFFECTS TO POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS

Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge of our time. With the United Nations (UN) climate summit (COP26) taking place in Glasgow this November, all eyes will be on the events outcomes in support of a cleaner, greener and healthier world.

As part of a nationwide campaign by the Climate Coalition, The Deep in Hull will be supporting ‘The Great Big Green Week’ from 18-26th September to highlight the need for urgent action on climate change, ahead of COP26 and the United Nations Climate talks. Family friendly science demonstrations will be held on the weekends of the 18/19th and 25/26th of September at The Deep.

The campaign will see thousands of people across the UK organising local festivals and event, aiming to draw attention to climate change, the destruction of the natural world, whilst connecting communities with key issues and showcasing effective actions to tackle climate change.

On Tuesday 28th September from 6:30pm, The Deep will be hosting a relaxed evening of drinks accompanied by talks on climate change from researchers from the University of Hull, including Dr Cath Waller and official COP26 Public Engagement Ambassadors Dr Agota Mockute and Dr Christina C. Roggatz.

Katy Duke, CEO at The Deep said “The Deep are delighted to show our support for The Big Green Week and highlight climate change issues with a laid back evening of talks covering topics such as offshore wind, micro plastics and marine chemical ecology. We hope to inspire our visitors to help make a positive change for the climate and for nature.”

Tickets for the event are just £5 and can be booked at www.thedeep.co.uk with attendees on the night receiving a free Day Plus Pass for The Deep which offers free return visits for 12 months.

he Dive Deeper Summit is a multi-state environmental education summit spotlighting innovative teaching about water. This biennial conference is for anyone who teaches youth about water, or anyone interested in educational tools and resources for teaching about water.

The goal of the summit is to offer professional development and networking opportunities to anyone interested in teaching about the environment, particularly water resources. This encompasses educators in both formal classroom settings and informal environments such as nature centers, parks, camps and after-school programs.

Abstract

The authors examine environmentalists’ attribution of responsibility for addressing climate change and their beliefs about solutions to this problem. Their analysis is based on responses to open-ended questions completed by 1,227 members of nine different environmental organizations. For these environmental movement participants, the federal government is seen as most responsible for addressing climate change. Government leadership is necessary because it has the power to set regulations and lead corporations and citizens toward pro-environmental behavior. However, a substantial number of participants also assert that “individuals are the driving force” in dealing with climate change. In this framework, individuals can take responsibility either through making lifestyle changes, or through applying pressure to government and businesses as citizens and consumers. Corporations are interpreted as unwilling to change on their own but must be coerced into becoming more environmentally sustainable by a strong state.

Journal Information

Organization & Environment aims to publish rigorous and impactful research on the management of organizations and its implications for the sustainability and flourishing of the social, natural and economic environment in which they act. To this end, it searches for contributions to the academic, managerial and policy debates related to the sustainable development of organizations, grounded on sound social (e.g. economics, political science, sociology, psychology, history, law, and all business domains), natural and/or life science research. In addition to the exploration of novel concepts and the advancement of theory, the experimentation of new methodologies and designs, and the empirical validation of theoretical insights, O&E; encourages the study of new phenomena, not completely explainable with extant knowledge, and the consequent launch of novel theoretical and empirical lines of inquiry. Finally, it welcomes the registration of experimental designs, in labs but especially on the field, committing to publish the results of well-executed registered studies, regardless of the scientific outcome.
