This article offers an overview such structural economic political constraints. Four main challenges identified,...
Over the past decade research on urban thermal inequity has grown, with a focus denser built environments. In this letter we examine associated climate change impacts and changes to form in comparatively socio-economically disadvantaged Australian suburb. Local densification policies designed counteract sprawl have reduced block sizes, increased height limits, diminished tree canopy cover (UTC). Little attention been given combined effects of lower UTC heat residents. Such include rising...
Many democracies find it difficult to act swiftly on problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This is reflected in long-standing debates research policy about whether democratic practices are capable of fostering timely, large-scale transformations towards sustainability. Drawing an integrative review scholarly literature from 2011 early 2021 sustainability the democracy-environment nexus, this article synthesises existing prospects pitfalls for democratising transformations....
AbstractRhetoric can facilitate movement beyond impasse on whether and how to confront climate change, enabling more effective public reasoning. Our evidence comes from a small deliberative group that contained climate-change deniers. We show how, in this setting, bridging rhetoric (capable of reaching those who do not share the speaker’s perspective) managed bring deniers others into accepting particular greenhouse-gas mitigation measures were range acceptable policy choices – even as...

This study quantitatively compared adult residents' memories use in their childhood teenage years two geographically culturally distinct cities: Brisbane, Australia,...
