Insufficient UK climate change policy (IPPR 2020) means individual and household behaviour change alone cannot achieve the significant system change needed to address the climate and ecological crisis (IPCC 2018). Individuals must also take political action (defined as action to change systems beyond the individual or household). A majority of the UK public consider radical change necessary to mitigate climate change, but most are not acting for such change. This innovative interdisciplinary project aims to demonstrate positive future visioning as a novel method of closing this prevalent value-action gap. I combine literatures on transformative change and wellbeing. The research contributes to UK policy focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and wellbeing of future generations. Research questions Main question: does envisioning positive futures support environmental political action? Sub-questions: - How does such envisioning increase understanding, motivation, and agency in enacting social transformations for sustainability? - What is the relative importance in this of deliberative methodologies and emotional reflection? Methodology My qualitative experimental methodology involves an intervention engaging two diverse groups of 10 people in developing a future vision around a question like 'how could life look in 30 years if we had a sustainable local area and UK, with true wellbeing for everyone?'. They will be compared to a no-intervention control group. Small groups are effective in transformative change. I will recruit participants using random stratified selection from respondents to an online questionnaire advertised via community groups, local businesses and social media in several locations in Devon and Cornwall. I will adhere to GDPR and principles of anonymisation, confidentiality and informed consent.

英国气候变化政策不足(IPPR 2020)意味着个人和家庭行为变化本身不能实现应对气候和生态危机所需的重大系统变化(IPCC 2018)。个人还必须采取政治行动(定义为改变个人或家庭以外的制度的行动)。大多数英国公众认为，为了缓解气候变化，激进的变化是必要的，但大多数人并没有为这种变化采取行动。这一创新的跨学科项目旨在展示积极的未来愿景，作为缩小这一普遍存在的价值与行动差距的新方法。我结合了关于变革性变化和幸福的文献。这项研究有助于英国将重点放在适应和缓解气候变化以及子孙后代的福祉上。研究问题主要问题：展望积极的未来是否支持环境政治行动？子问题：-这样的设想如何在制定社会变革以实现可持续发展方面增加理解、动力和代理？-慎重的方法和情感反思在这方面的相对重要性是什么？方法我的定性实验方法论涉及一种干预，让两个不同的10人小组围绕这样一个问题制定未来愿景：如果我们有一个可持续的当地和英国，每个人都有真正的福祉，30年后的生活会是什么样子？他们将被与不干预的控制组进行比较。小团体在变革性变革中是有效的。我将通过随机分层从受访者中招募参与者，通过社区团体、当地企业和社交媒体在德文郡和康沃尔的几个地点发布在线问卷。我将坚持GDPR和匿名化、保密性和知情同意的原则。
