Love Letter #41

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Hej!  How are you? Let's all make sure to be extra nice to each other during these times, make sure to get information from reliable sources and take a break when needed. Today, we'll talk about public opinion and climate change policies, sleeper trains and designing regenerative cultures. 01 About fairness and climate change policies Image source As many of you know, Another Tomorrow is collaborating with two of Europe's leading climate researchers and want to share some very exciting news. Sverker Jagers, expert in Environmental Politics has published an article in Nature Climate Change which is the world's leading multidisciplinary science journal! The topic of it is the importance of perceived fairness to public opinion about climate change policies. Read the abstract below:  Public acceptance is a precondition for implementing taxes and laws aimed at mitigating climate change. However, it still remains challenging to understand its determinants for the climate community. Here, we use a meta-analytic approach to examine the role of public opinion about climate change taxes and laws. Fifteen variables were examined by synthesizing 89 datasets from 51 articles across 33 countries, with a total sample of 119,465 participants. Among all factors, perceived fairness and effectiveness were the most important determinants. Self-enhancement values and knowledge about climate change showed weak relationships and demographic variables showed only weak or close to zero effects. Our meta-analytic results provide useful insights and have the potential to inform climate change researchers, practitioners and policymakers to better design climate policy instruments.

Recently, however, a renewed interest in rail travel—particularly sleeper routes—seems to be taking root. The last couple years have seen a flurry of new projects that will restore sleeper train service in Europe and will likely usher in a new era of rail travel in the region."   Read the full article here > Book Recommendation: Designing Regenerative Cultures by Daniel Christian Wahl A 'Whole Earth Catalog' for the 21st century: an impressive and wide-ranging analysis of what's wrong with our societies, organizations, ideologies, worldviews and cultures - and how to put them right. The book covers the finance system, agriculture, design, ecology, economy, sustainability, organizations and society at large. Daniel Wahl explores ways in which we can reframe and understand the crises that we currently face, and he explores how we can live our way into the future. Moving from patterns of thinking and believing to our practice of education, design and community living, he systematically shows how we can stop chasing the mirage of certainty and control in a complex and unpredictable world.
