Community and household change (Xxxxxxxxx & Hoolohan) Sample Clauses

Community and household change (Xxxxxxxxx & Hoolohan). Local community provides a critical context for enabling collective and individual action on climate change63. We will work with the third-sector organisation 10:10, who have pioneered community-level interventions to address climate change, to trial approaches to reduce carbon emissions at the neighbourhood level. These interventions will engage both low-income, and midlhigh-income communities (where carbon emissions are typically higher) in four locations in London to achieve lifestyle change in line with meaningful emissions reduction. The exact focus of the projects will be determined in conjunction with community members, but will incorporate socio-technical innovation in the four challenging areas (e.g., shared mobility) and focus on co-benefits, such as health, wellbeing, inclusion and resilience. Interventions will be trialled through community-based participatory research64 to establish collaborative partnerships between community members and researchers, from initiation to maintenance and evaluation of change. The research will bring together multiple theoretical perspectives, including environmental psychology and social practice theories, to reflect the complexity of socio-ecological systems and to attune the research team to different aspects of change. We will adopt a multi-method approach, combining qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (survey, carbon footprinting) methods, drawing on empirical findings to critically reflect on theories of community and household level change.
