Citizens and community members often feel like they don’t have much control over the decisions that get made by governments and even more so in issues like climate.
However, research shows high levels of concern about the climate crisis and a willingness on the part of individuals to contribute to climate action.
Systems Thinking & Systemic Design
Background When a challenge has multiple stakeholders and components, with complex interactions between them, it becomes difficult to plot a linear path towards a defined outcome. These kinds of challenges have been termed ‘cloud’ or ‘wicked’ problems: challenges so interdependent that there are no clear right or wrong solutions.
Humans & Climate Action: Seven Insights from Neuroscience & Psychology
The LEVERS project aims to reach diverse learners across communities by engaging them in action for climate justice. This requires tackling polarisation, and finding ways to unite those with opposing points of view around shared goals.
Taking Action Towards Climate Justice
In 2015, 195 countries agreed as part of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius by the year 2100, and to pursue efforts to keep it within the safer limit of 1.5 degrees Celcius. If successful, this means that by the year 2100, the average surface temperature of the planet would have risen by no more than 1.5 degrees Celcius since pre-industrial times.
