Climate policy support in the UK: An interaction of worldviews and policy types

Understanding predictors of climate policy support is important for tackling climate change. Previous research demonstrated that policy support is partially driven by cultural worldviews. Yet, treating policies as a homogeneous concept, this literature neglected the existence of different policy types. Making this distinction is important because each type implies a distinct solution to the same p

Die Studie beruht auf einer repräsentativen Beschäftigtenumfrage. Die Erhebung dokumentiert erstmals mit einem Fokus auf Beschäftigte, wie diese über den Klimawandel unddie anstehende sozial-ökologische Transformation denken. Sie zeigt, dass sich Beschäftigte in der Tendenz gut informiert fühlen und zugleich sehr besorgt über den Klimawandel sind. Viele sehen eine hohe Dringlichkeit für Maßnahmen

Anhand einer repräsentativen Umfrage unter Beschäftigten analysiert das vorliegende Paper die Zustimmung zu energiepolitischen Maßnahmen und die Wahrnehmung sozioökonomischer Folgen entlang politischer Parteipräferenzen. Zwischen den parteipolitischen Linien „Mitte links“ (SPD, Grüne, Die Linke), „Mitte rechts“ (CDU/CSU, FDP) und „populistisch“ (BSW, AfD) finden sich deutliche Unterschiede, aber ü

In search of digital transformation : survey evidence of UK employers' investment in digital technologies and skills

AI-enabled technologies are developing rapidly, but the first wave of the Digit Employers’ Digital Practices at Work Survey (2021-22) showed that their use by firms is not yet widespread. This Data Commentary presents findings from the second wave of the Survey, conducted during 2023, based on responses from 1,150 firms.The findings show that adoption of AI-enabled technologies by UK firms remains

Missing Data: Understanding UK firms' investment in and use of new digital technologies at work

We have access to ever-increasing amounts of digital data. Yet we know little about how digital technologies are transforming employers’ work practices in British firms. This is because we lack representative, reliable data about these practices at the organisation-level. Existing data tend to:draw from independent consultancy projects and reports;be relatively narrow in scope or rely on potential

A methodology for assessing multiple hazards applied to Sweden

Despite extensive efforts through various international initiatives to reduce global warming, it has been determined that human induced climate change is here, that the present scale of disruption of the climate is unprecedented and will continue. Increasing weather volatility can be expected, which will most likely increase exposure to weather related hazards, e.g. wildfires, flooding.

European agrifood and forestry education for a sustainable future - Gap analysis from an informatics approach

BACKGROUND: The NextFood Project ( www.nextfood-project.eu) started work in 2018 to identify 'Categories of Skills' that students should be equipped with to address the upcoming global challenges within agrifood and forestry disciplines, and involved concepts such as sustainability, technological adaptation and networking. This study is based on the initial skills and competencies mapping, but tak

Evaluation of Wildland Fire Detection Methods Using Expert Input

Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potentialRecently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally.
