TL;DR: This paper showed that recycling rates are dependent on the information participants receive about a separate environmental behaviour, car-sharing (carpooling in the USA). But they found that recycling was significantly higher than control when participants received environmental information about carsharing, but was no different from control when they received financial information or (in experiment 2) received both financial and environmental information.

TL;DR: This article reviewed the growing body of work that explores the role of human values and the closely related concept of cultural worldviews in public engagement with climate change and provided a brief conceptual overview of values and their relationship to environmental engagement in general.

TL;DR: The authors found that people who expressed greater concern about climate change and energy security and possessed higher environmental values were less likely to favour nuclear power, while nuclear power was given an explicit "reluctant acceptance" framing, allowing people to express their dislike for nuclear power alongside their conditional support.

TL;DR: This paper measured participants' scepticism about climate change before and after reading two newspaper editorials that made opposing claims about the reality and seriousness of climate change (designed to generate uncertainty) and observed no evidence of attitude polarisation.

TL;DR: The authors provide a thorough review of international studies in this area, drawing on survey data and qualitative research, focusing on four key determinants of effective climate change communication and assess whether young people differ in any appreciable way from research findings relating to the general population.
