Susanne Moser has a new research article out in the newest (and paywalled) edition of a Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews (WIREs) journal focused on climate change (Vol. 5 Issue 2).
Communicating adaptation to climate change: The art and science of public engagement when climate change comes home (DOI: 10.1002/wcc.276) brings together an analysis on climate change adaptation language used in public policy, practice, and the news media. Scholarship on place attachment and place identity "are of particular relevance" to engaging various groups regarding climate change adaptation, as Moser suggests in the abstract:
Insights from the literature on place attachment and place identity are of particular relevance to public engagement on adaptation as it goes a long way toward explaining the quality of the adaptation debate to date while offering promising opportunities for dialogue.
Moser has her own research and consulting business in Santa Cruz, CA, and is also affiliated with the Woods Institute for the Environment of Stanford University. Along with co-author Lisa Dilling, Moser published Creating a Climate for Change: Communicating Climate Change and Facilitating Social Change (Cambridge University Press) in 2007. More recently, Moser and co-editor Max Boykoff (University of Colorado-Boulder) published Successful Adaptation to Climate Change (2013, Routledge).
