Global Action PlanSep 22

This article in the Irish Times warns of penalties up to €26bn if we fail to meet our climate targets.
What could €26 billion achieve if it was invested in community energy, active transport, or housing upgrades?

Real transformation starts with imagination: being able to picture a society where sustainability is the default. That requires values and behaviour to change, so that policy change can follow.

It would be interesting to see how we could apply the findings of this study to the current climate and biodiversity loss emergencies and see if it could encourage people to "cooperate on a massive scale to achieve collective outcomes"

Clear and consistent communications, coordinated across all government parties, requiring simple actions to achieve a shared result.

We're not really seeing that at present.

Strong link between public’s behaviour to mitigate Covid-19 and daily case figures, report shows

The ESRI also noted that ‘perceptions of how much others were complying with restrictions mattered too’.

Reaching out to my network…

Does anyone has the 📞number of “AI”👤?

Apparently he is going to fix the energy transition🔋⚡️😂🙈!

As with #COVID, there is a lot of #BehaviouralChange #Psychology associated with the adoption of #HeatPumps. In terms of the normalisation aspect, I can report that my first winter heated by an #ASHP was lovely and warm.

Why so few UK homes are installing air-source heat pumps – and how to encourage takeup

The UK is next to last in Europe for heat pump sales – psychologists explain why take up is so low.
