Social Adaptation to Climate Change in the Australian Public Sphere: A comparison of individual and group deliberative responses to scenarios of future climate change. This is a 3-year Australian Research Council-funded project being undertaken by scholars from across social, political and natural science disciplines within the Australian National University. The aim is to gain a more in-depth understanding of how members of the public currently perceive and will potentially react to climate change and how they think they will respond to its future impacts. The project employs rigorous research methods to achieve these aims including: regionally modelled climate scenarios; Q-sort opinion mapping; qualitative interviewing; and a deliberative event.
