  1. How might climate change affect our lives? The impacts of climate change and how we respond to them #TalkingClimate Tara Clarke, science communicator and training manager

  2. Introduction • Climate change impacts in Oxford • Ways that we will need to think and do things differently • Importance of public engagement around local climate impacts

  3. Introduction • Heavier rainfall across the UK will lead to more frequent localised flooding; • As temperatures increase, severe heatwaves will become more common in Oxford; • A changing climate will also increase our demand for energy in Oxford.

  4. We need to DO things differently • Over half of the cuts required to reach net-zero emissions in the UK require people to do things differently • The way we travel • The way we heat our homes • The food we eat

  5. We need to THINK about things differently • Our values (the guiding principles in our lives) and social norms (the unwritten rules about how we behave) matter • Your values shape how you engage with and respond to climate change • Understanding, appreciating and respecting the values of diverse communities in Oxford

  6. The importance of engagement • To support a shift in the social norm of how we live • Everyone has a right to be properly engaged in climate change & its impacts • Engaging local communities on the role they can play in meeting net-zero emissions in Oxford and supporting communities to adapt.
