The effect of unconventional advocates on public support for climate policy

该项目旨在发现非常规气候倡导者在公共辩论中的存在是否可以促进澳大利亚气候政策的广泛支持。非传统的倡导者包括政治保守派，农民，资源行业工人和商人。该项目预计将产生新的知识，在有争议的政策辩论中的交叉社会身份的作用。该项目的预期成果包括关于如何减少气候政策社会分歧的循证见解。这将带来重大益处，例如指导政策行为者如何克服社会分歧，以执行气候政策，并与其他有争议的政策领域相关。

This project aims to discover whether the presence of unconventional climate advocates in public debate can foster broad-based support for climate policy in Australia. Unconventional advocates include political conservatives, farmers, resource industry workers, and businesspeople. The project expects to generate new knowledge about the role of intersectional social identities in contentious policy debates. Expected outcomes of this project include evidence-based insights on how to reduce social division about climate policy. This should provide significant benefits such as guidance for policy actors for how to overcome social cleavages to implement climate policy, with relevance to other contentious policy domains.
