Scientists at the STS (Science, technology and Society) Network workshop held in Wellington this week took part in a Science Media Centre briefing on “risk fatigue” and the disconnect between the dire scenarios of climate scientists and the willingness of society to act to avoid them. A more integrated approach between biophysical science and social science is what they are calling for, as well as a more detailed look at scenarios for climate change mitigation and adaptation in New Zealand and Australia beyond 2025.
