Speeches by Young.

“When we are thinking about communication, if we are communicating about climate, you are saying that we need to be thinking about geographical differences and communicating to different geographies in different ways, but not if we are talking about the energy transition. It is an interesting conundrum if one has a regi…”

“In your answer to the previous set of questions, you gave the example of North sea oil affecting how people see the need for climate action, and you said that on the energy transition you are picking up more about affluence and women versus men. Do you think the geographical variations are all explained by quite straig…”

“I have one more question. We have talked about bills and so on in relation to the public’s views on the energy transition. How much does concern about the country’s energy security factor into their views?”

“I would like to address my question specifically to Claire about the Welsh Government. Polling indicates that trust for the Welsh Government, the UK Government and local authorities differs depending on what aspects of an energy transition we are talking about. Does this factor into your communications?”

“The question is more about who is doing the communicating and how that affects the level of trust they have. Regardless of who is doing the work, who is telling them about it appears to vary the level of trust according to which Government they trust more and whether they trust local authorities more.

“Do you have any evidence that you could send us that shows the impact that has had on the levels of understanding and support?”

“Finally, the Welsh Government have a public engagement strategy that aims to promote education and learning. What conversations have you had, if any, with DESNZ over its development of a public participation strategy to make sure that they are aligned?”

“We have talked a lot about the information that is going from Governments to people, but do you think that people currently feel that there is a clear process for them to meaningfully contribute to the UK Government’s policies on climate action? Is communication going the other way?”

“Just to be clear, this study—which I am sure we will be interested in—is it specifically looking at Wales.”

“Would you agree that public conversation processes in the UK have generally been one-off events, and would you support a multi-year, national campaign to raise awareness about the heat transition?”

“You have partly answered my next question which is: what would you most like to see included in the DESNZ public participation strategy? Do you have anything to add?”
