Is there enough information to help understand the needs and/or experiences of the target audience regarding:
Age?Yes
If not, what other information is needed?The evidence available on age groups for the main policy areas impacted by climate change and climate change mitigation (transport, energy, waste, flooding, etc.) is sufficient and will continue to be collected on an ongoing basis. The future work of the Scottish Environmental Attitudinal and Behavioural Survey will provide further information on age and may identify differential experiences and responses to climate change drivers – these may signal a requirement for more in depth research.
Disability?Yes
If not, what other information is needed?The evidence available on people with disabilities for the main policy areas impacted by climate change and climate change mitigation (transport, energy, waste, flooding, etc.) is sufficient and will continue to be collected on an ongoing basis. The future work of the Scottish Environmental Attitudinal and Behavioural Survey will provide further information on people with disabilities and may identify differential experiences and responses to climate change drivers – these may signal a requirement for more in depth research.
On Faith/Religious BeliefYes
If not, what other information is needed?The evidence available on religion and belief for the main policy areas impacted by climate change and climate change mitigation (transport, energy, etc.) is sufficient and will continue to be collected on an ongoing basis.
Gender?Yes
If not, what other information is needed?The evidence available on gender for the main policy areas impacted by climate change and climate change mitigation (transport, energy, waste, flooding, etc.) is sufficient and will continue to be collected on an ongoing basis. The future work of the Scottish Environmental Attitudinal and Behavioural Survey will provide further information on gender and may identify differential experiences and responses to climate change drivers – these may signal a requirement for more in depth research.
On Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender?Yes
If not, what other information is needed?While no statistics have been collected, there is enough confidence that further information is not required at this time.
Race?Yes
If not, what other information is needed?The evidence available on race for the main policy areas impacted by climate change and climate change mitigation (transport, energy, waste, etc.) is sufficient and will continue to be collected on an ongoing basis. The future work of the Scottish Environmental Attitudinal and Behavioural Survey will provide further information on race and may identify differential experiences and responses to climate change drivers – these may signal a requirement for more in depth research.
