Barriers perceived to engaging with climate change among the UK public and their policy implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the barriers that members of the UK public perceive to engaging with climate change and argue that targeted and tailored information provision should be supported by wider structural change to enable citizens and communities to reduce carbon dependency.
