‘Keeping the Flame Alive?: Climate Change, the Media and the Public’



Climate change as an issue has recently been somewhat eclipsed by 
economic turbulence in Britain and Europe. Maintaining its profile in 
the national dialogue is a challenge for many organisations and 
institutions. This symposium focus on this, drawing on speakers from a 
range of disciplines. They will present their take on the challenge of 
keeping the clients, stakeholders and the public, engaged with and 
informed about climate change, and will speak on their related area of 
specialisation: media coverage of the issue, challenges in researching 
this area, attitude formation and change, and public policy in this 
area. The aim is here is an exchange of ideas, experiences and expertise.
