Climate change and non-environmental groups
4th November 2008, 2:33 pm
The Carnegie Inquiry into the Future of Civil Society has two projects to engage voluntary organisations in the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity, in particular groups that have a social rather than environmental focus. ‘Climate change and resource scarcity: A discussion paper for non-environmental civil society groups’ can be downloaded (pdf, 204KB).
An online questionnaire aims to gather information about how such organisations are currently thinking about the effects of climate change and resource scarcity on society and on their future plans, and what areas they feel uninformed about and would like more advice or discussion. A second study is exploring how the social justice and climate change agendas may be bridged practically. See http://democracy.carnegieuktrust.org.uk/node/326.
