IPPR Report: Warm Words II
Gill Ereaut and Nat SegnitIPPR19 September 2007Free
The climate is changing – and so is the way that people talk about it. And just as climate change is occurring more rapidly than it appeared just a few years ago, the language that we use in relation to the phenomenon develops and changes quickly too. Last year, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), commissioned Linguistic Landscapes to undertake research into the use of language about climate change with sponsorship from the Energy Saving Trust.
Warm Words: How Are We Telling the Climate Story and Can We Tell It Better? written by Gill Ereaut and Nat Segnit and published by ippr proved to be such a hot topic and the subject so fluid, that this year a follow up, extended report has been produced. The new report is called Warm Words II: How the Climate Story Is Evolving and the Lessons We Can Learn for Encouraging Public Action and can be downloaded from: www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=561
