Forest or machine? Public perceptions and acceptability of negative emissions technologies and practices across six European countries Open
To limit climate change to 1.5 °C, negative emission technologies and practices (NETPs) are needed to supplement, not replace, other essential mitigation efforts. We conducted a large scale survey on NETPs in six EU countries ( N = 5,310) …

Explaining acceptance and acceptability of connected automated vehicles: the impact of evaluations of attributes and traffic complexity Open
Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) may, when available, be able to reduce greenhouse gasses emissions caused by the transport sector, and may increase traffic safety. In order for CAVs to be adopted by the public, they first need to be ac…

Design for behaviour change — The influence of packaging design on recycling Open
Initial evidence indicates that design can drive socially desirable behaviour change, but little is known about why and under what conditions the effects of design are most likely. We tested whether packaging designs aimed at making people…

Whose job is it to solve climate change? Perceptions of the roles of diverse actors in addressing climate change Open
Understanding how different actors perceive their own and others’ roles in addressing climate change is critical to promoting societal-wide climate action. Yet, most studies focused on the perceptions held by the general population. We ext…

Representing the drivers of lifestyle change in Integrated Assessment Models using theories from environmental psychology: introducing the Motivation, Agency, and Past Behaviour (MAP) framework Open
Sustainable lifestyle changes are an important demand-side solution to reducing CO 2 emissions. While sustainable lifestyles are increasingly included in integrated assessment models, modellers have so far not managed to realistically mode…

The climate anxiety compass: A framework to map the solution space for coping with climate anxiety Open
Witnessing the rapidly unfolding consequences of climate change, many people feel worried, stressed and anxious. While many suggestions on how to cope with climate anxiety have been proposed, the literature lacks a theory-informed framewor…

‘Yes, we care’: pro-environmental social identity framing to promote acceptance of decentralized wastewater treatment systems Open
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems can help mitigate the water crisis. Their successful implementation depends not only on their technological design but also on the level of public support. We aim to assess how a pro-environmental…

The value of a climate march: Do climate marches affect perceived values and personal climate action Open
Climate change poses immediate environmental threats. Although many care about the environment (i.e., endorse biospheric values), too little climate action is still taken. It has been argued that one reason for this is that individuals oft…

Climate action on Twitter: perceived barriers for actions and actors, and sentiments during COP26 Open
We studied public perceptions of what climate actions are needed, which actors should and can act, and which factors inhibit or enable those actions using the naturally occurring discourse on climate actions on Twitter during COP26. By inc…

Do I perceive that we as a community can persist, adapt flexibly, and positively transform? The relationship between collective transilience and community-based adaptation Open
Climate change is happening and has negative impacts on communities. To adapt to climate change risks, people need to take action to protect, not only themselves, but also their community. We study whether collective transilience predicts …
