How New Zealanders can tackle climate change

Climate change has become one of the central issues of our time, yet it is an issue weighed down by messages of doom and gloom and a pervasive sense of helplessness about how we should effectively respond.

The editors, Niki Harré and Quentin D. Atkinson, are both psychologists associated with the University of Auckland, whose interests in the area of psychological wellbeing have led them to tackle this issue.

repint of 2006 ed

The debate on the science is over. Climate change is real; it is happening even faster than previously thought and it is powerfully influenced by human activities.
As events like Hurricane Katrina, the shrinking of ice-caps and the calamitous 2003 European heatwave remind us, climate change is not a future threat: it already profoundly affects the world we live in. Scientific evidence shows that dangerous climate change can only be averted through concerted global action – not in 30 years’ time, but over the coming decade. Bold policies, informed public debate and decisive political leadership are critical, yet many countries – New Zealand among them – have been slow to act.
With contributions by more than 30 leading scientists and policy experts, from New Zealand and elsewhere, this book will increase public understanding about climate change and help to develop robust, effective policies. It presents the ... more
