Q

threats that get our attention: 4 I’s

A
  1. intentional
  2. immoral
  3. imminent
  4. instataneous
25
theory of emergency response
1. notice the problem 2. interpret as emergency 3. feel personally responsible to act 4. know what to do 5. do it
26
2 barriers for theory of emerged response
1. bij notice the problem 2. bij interpret the problem as an emergency
27
3 redenen voor barriers
- lack of info or comprehension - low perception of threat (four i's) - rejection of conflicting info as the question more verbal and elaborate: motivated reasoning
28
feel personally responsible: barriers
- self interest (tragedy of the commons) - free riding - belief in a just world
29
free riding=
meerijden op de effort van de groep
30
reduce free riding
1. evaluate individual performance 2. punishment for poor performance 3. task is important to you 4. small group 5. cohesive group
31
just world belief leidt tot...
belief that people get what they deserve -> leads to the is-ought problem
32
why is the just world belief a barriere
because it reduces the perception of a problem and the acceptance of responsibility
33
individual actions matter:
We can reduce all US emissions 30% by upgrading households with current technology
34
classic model of climate change mitigation
education -> climate change beliefs (reality, importance) -> behaviour
35
maar.. education is vaak niet genoeg! zorgt er soms juist voor minder effort omdat mensen er niet meer over willen horen of zich oncomfortabel voelen
oke
36
dus daarom het nieuwe model:
met co-benefits of mitigation: economic education social health and disease
37
collective futures model
how will your country be in 2050 after action that prevented signficant climate change? depends on: country conditions individual character
38
country conditions
- development (economy, educ) - dysfunction (crime, disease)
39
individual character
- benevolence - competence
40
Development and Benevolence co-benefits showed comparable effect sizes to climate change importance
oke, dus vooral development (country conditions) en benevolence (benevolence)
41
communicate the 3 Rs of climate
reality risk response
42
reality of climate change
1. Scientists are convinced that human-caused climate change is occurring. 2. Harmful climate change impacts are already happening here and will get worse.
43
risk of climate change
1. Our climate may get worse than we expect. 2. We may experience surprises -- abrupt climate change or abrupt impacts triggered by gradual climate change.
44
response
1. The sooner we respond, the better off we’ll be. 2. There’s much we can do.
45
identity signaling
= motivated to feel good about ourselves and our groups.
46
what does identity signaling have to do with proenvironmental behaviours
shows that pro-environmental behaviours have a social meaning
47
green to be seen
Publicity and need for status led to preference for “green” products.
48
gray to keep away
Conservatives rejected an efficient light bulb when it came with a sticker saying “Protect the Environment"
49
findings on marketing of environment
Individuals may signal social identities with environmental behavior. therefore: the current campaigns may backfire in non-environmentalists (omdat het niet aantrekkelijk is; does not align with social identities)
50
two climate change strategies
adaptation (you change how things are build) mitigation (you soften the negative impact)
51
adaptation voorbeelden
change in land use relocation emergency and business continuity planning upgrades or hardening of building and infrastructure residential programs promoting adaptation health programs
52
mitigation
energy conservation and efficiency renewable energy sustainable transportation improved fuel efficiency capture and use of landfill and digester gas carbon sinks
53
mix van adaptation en mitigation
seal buildings green infrastructure water and energy conservation smart growth
