Public Perception of Climate Change & Climate Solutions with Kaitlin Raimi

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview University of Michigan Professor Kaitlin Raimi about her research on public perception of climate change and climate solutions such as carbon capture and sunlight reflection methods (SRM). Kaitlin Raimi is an associate professor of public policy at the University of Michigan Ford School. As a social/environmental psychologist, her interests center on how individuals can promote or prevent sustainable behaviors and policies. She has three broad areas of research: (1) how people compare their own beliefs and behaviors to others, (2) how adopting one pro-environmental behavior affects later action, and (3) how climate change communication affects people’s understanding, behaviors, and support for climate policies and technologies.
