Social Adaptation to Climate Change in the Australian Public Sphere: A comparison of individual and group deliberative responses to scenarios of future climate change

这项研究针对的是ARC国家研究优先目标，即“一个环境可持续发展的澳大利亚”，特别是“减少和捕获交通和能源生产中的排放”。避免、管理和/或适应气候变化的影响是当今最紧迫的全球环境问题。该项目将为澳大利亚适应未来气候变化的机构调整的政策选择提供切实和原创性的见解；将为积极的社区行为变化的范围提供洞察；以及澳大利亚社会辩论中可能发生的转变，以最大限度地提高适应能力。它还将加强和产生原创的概念方法和研究方法。

This research addresses the ARC National Research Priorities Goal of 'An Environmentally Sustainable Australia, specifically 'Reducing and capturing emissions in transport and energy generation'. Avoiding, managing, and/or adapting to the climate change impacts is now the most pressing global environmental problem. This project will produce tangible and original insights into policy options for institutional adjustment to future climate change in Australia; will provide insight into the scope for positive community behavioural change; and possible transformations in Australian social debate to maximise adaptive capacity. It will also strengthen and produce original conceptual approaches and research methods.
