Abstract |
This report summarises the findings from a series of
deliberative workshops with members of the British public
carried out between June and October 2011 as part of an
interdisciplinary UKERC research project: Transforming the
UK energy system Public values, attitudes and acceptability. The analysis provides an indication of key areas of public
acceptability relating to whole energy system change, and
offers insights into the factors that mediate and underpin
views on transitions. Understanding the connections,
associations and contextual issues that underlay public
perspectives offers an important means for thinking
through potential difficulties and opportunities in
achieving major system change.
This report is structured around ten cross-cutting analytic
themes which are interlinked. |
