annemarte.bergseng@ed.ac.ukEvidence to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee put out a call for evidence on public understanding of climate change and what implications this understanding has for policy.
The evidence covers three main issues:
- The current state of public understanding of what is meant by climate change and changes in climate awareness.
- Public trust in the various voices in the discourse on climate science and policy
- How could public understanding of what is meant by climate change can be improved, including identifying the main barriers to this and how the media can play a positive role.
