Description
The Climate Majority: A New Approach to Building Consensus on Climate Change. Climate change is a pressing global issue that requires collective action. However, many people remain apathetic about taking action, which hinders efforts to limit emissions and prevent dangerous climate change. In this book, Leo Barasi argues that building a "climate majority" - persuading the majority of people to take action on climate change - is crucial for preventing catastrophic climate change. Barasi draws on his experience in policy and campaign work to show how politicizing climate change can make it more difficult to build consensus among those who are currently apathetic. Instead, he offers a new approach that focuses on understanding public opinion and changing attitudes through effective communication strategies. By exploring examples from the US, UK, Australia, and Canada, Barasi provides valuable insights into what people really think about climate change and how to persuade them to take action. This book is a timely contribution to the debate on climate change, offering new hope and practical tools for building a climate majority within the existing system.
