How do we engage the disengaged? With Dr Scott Hanson-Easey
from Steering Sustainability · host Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Resources
We know climate action is crucial, yet so many of us struggle to live fully sustainable lives. But does it really matter how much we, as individuals, engage in climate action? Who is ultimately responsible for addressing global challenges like climate change? Melissa and Ariane sit down with Dr Scott Hanson-Easey from the School of Public Health at the University of Adelaide to explore the often-discussed gap between knowledge and action in addressing climate change. Drawing on his background in health promotion, science communication, psychology, and social policy, Scott shares fascinating reflections on why people’s behaviours often fall short of their ideals and discusses the kinds of contextual transformations that could help individuals better align the two, paving the way for more meaningful and sustained climate action.
