In the last 15 years, humans emitted a quarter of the greenhouse gases ever emitted by our species. Reversing this trajectory will require extraordinary levels of community support in the face of painful transformations of our society. This project will understand the psychological factors underpinning climate (in)action, test strategies capable of catalysing action, and deliver a suite of impact tools for government, industry, and green innovators. The significant benefits that will emerge will assist in future-proofing the economy, increasing government flexibility to drive change, and reducing social conflict. The project will inform Australia’s transition from a fossil fuel dependent economy to a leader in rapid decarbonisation.

在过去的15年里，人类排放的温室气体占我们物种排放量的四分之一。要扭转这一趋势，就需要在我们社会面临痛苦变革的情况下，提供非同寻常的社区支持。该项目将了解支撑气候行动的心理因素，测试能够催化行动的战略，并为政府，行业和绿色创新者提供一套影响工具。由此产生的重大利益将有助于经济的未来发展，增加政府推动变革的灵活性，并减少社会冲突。该项目将为澳大利亚从依赖化石燃料的经济向快速脱碳的领导者过渡提供信息。
