How a social identity approach matters to climate communication
We have reached a point where it is impossible to ignore climate change and its impacts – but this does not necessarily imply people are ready to act. As recent research shows, even when people are well-informed about climate change, appraise it as a current, visible, local and personal threat and express concern, their response in terms of facing challenges head on and translating their concern into climate-mitigative, adaptive and transformative behaviour seems restricted.

Sozialethisches Kolloquium von Wirtschaft und Kirchen.
Die Wirtschaft braucht die Alten. Industrie und Handwerk nicht weniger. Darüber waren sich die Teilnehmer des hochkarätigen Sozialethischen Kolloquiums des Studienkreises Wirtschaft und Kirchen in Nordrhein-Westfalen einig, das in Düsseldorf unter dem Thema stand: „Erfahrung, die sich auszahlt – Potenziale älterer Menschen im Betrieb“. Die demografische Entwicklung zwingt Wirtschaft und Industrie, sich mehr als bislang um die älteren Menschen als Mitarbeiter zu bemühen. Denn die vor allem durch die Wirtschaftskrise im südlichen Europa begünstigte Zuwanderung qualifizierter Ausländer wird wieder stark nachlassen, wenn sich Spanien, Portugal, Italien und Griechenland wirtschaftlich erholen, so die Geschäftsführerin der Arbeitsagentur Nordrhein- Westfalen, Christiane Schönefeld.
