Building Consensus for Ambitious Climate Action Through the <i>World Climate</i> Simulation

چکیده
Sociopolitical values are an important driver of climate change beliefs, attitudes, and policy preferences. People with “individualist-hierarchical” favor individual freedom, competition, clearly defined social hierarchies, while “communitarian-egalitarians” value interdependence equality across gender, age, heritage, ethnicity. In the US, individualist-hierarchs generally perceive less risk from express lower support for actions to mitigate it than communitarian-egalitarians. Exposure scientific information does little these views. Here, we ask if a widely used experiential simulation, World Climate, can help overcome barriers. Climate combines engaging role-play interactive computer model system. We examine pre- post-World survey responses 2,080 participants in US use general linear mixed approach analyze interactions among participants' sociopolitical gains knowledge, affect, intent take action. As expected, prior holding individualist-hierarchical had levels felt urgency, expressed act those communitarian-egalitarian values. However, made significantly larger all constructs, particularly Participants' also shifted: individualistic-hierarchical before simulation showed substantial, statistically significant shift toward worldview. Simulation-based experiences like may reduce polarization build consensus towards science-based

Utility of action checklists as a consensus building tool
The present study's objective was to determine the mechanisms for enhancing the utility of action checklists applied in participatory approach programs for workplace improvements, to identify the benefits of building consensus and to compare their applicability in Asian countries to find the most appropriate configuration for action checklists. Data were collected from eight trainees and 43 tra...
متن کاملNew feed sources key to ambitious climate targets
Net carbon sinks capable of avoiding dangerous perturbation of the climate system and preventing ocean acidification have been identified, but they are likely to be limited by resource constraints (Nature 463:747-756, 2010). Land scarcity already creates tension between food security and bioenergy production, and this competition is likely to intensify as populations and the effects of climate ...

متن کاملThe Building Blocks of Consensus
Consensus is an important building block for building replicated systems, and many consensus protocols have been proposed. In this paper, we investigate the building blocks of consensus protocols and use these building blocks to assemble a skeleton that can be configured to produce, among others, three well-known consensus protocols: Paxos, Chandra-Toueg, and Ben-Or. Although each of these prot...
