“…Flight shame was another influencing factor-albeit weakly effective-at least with respect to acceptance in the final model, i.e., higher acceptance of CO 2 -based aviation fuels was also reported for higher levels of flight shame. This finding is contrary to the formulated H4.3a and suggests that sustainability values are effective in the perception of flight shame, which also lead to a higher acceptance of CO 2 -based aviation fuels (Andersen, 2022). However, flight shame exerted no influence on the actual intention to use CO 2 -based aviation fuels (H4.3b rejected).…”

“…In this study flight shame was integrated as it was unclear how it might be related to the social readiness for CO 2 -based aviation fuels. Increasingly, research addresses the concept (Chiambaretto et al, 2021;Andersen, 2022;Gunziger et al, 2022) and it becomes clear that the concept of flight shame might target at very different social phenomena, starting from the increasing awareness of flight passengers that flying with fossil fuels is contributing to climate change. It also represents a moral argument in the sense of a moral responsibility that is used by climate opponents, journalists, or industrial stakeholders to announce a pro-and a contra-argumentation for as well as against flying.…”

Ready to fly? Comparing acceptance and behavioral usage intentions of CO2-based aviation fuels in four European countries

Significantly increased global greenhouse gas emissions from aviation make the decarbonization of the aviation sector an urgent demand to combat climate change. One technical approach is the usage of Carbon Capture and Utilization technologies (CCU) to re-use CO2 as raw material and to produce CO2-based aviation fuels. As the social readiness is an essential component for a successful roll-out, this study investigates acceptance and behavioral usage intentions regarding CO2-based aviation fuels. We applied an empirical quantitative online questionnaire in four European countries (Spain, Norway, Netherlands, and Germany, N = 2,187). To get a comprehensive overview of the factors that predict social readiness, data on relevant impact factors were collected, including sociodemographic factors, awareness, attitudinal factors (innovation cautiousness, environmental awareness, flight shame), flight behavior as well as evaluations in terms of benefit and risk perceptions of CO2-based fuels. Employing hierarchical regression analyses we identified the impact of individual factors and fuel-related perceptions on the acceptance of and the willingness to use CO2-based aviation fuels. For the prediction of CO2-based fuel acceptance, benefit perceptions were the strongest predictor, followed by environmental awareness, risk perceptions, interest, and flight shame. For the behavioral intention to fly with CO2-based fuels, benefit perceptions showed the strongest impact, followed by environmental awareness, interest, and risk perceptions about technical quality and -maturity as well as health- and environmental risks. This was valid for all four European countries under study, even though there were also national differences: Norwegian respondents showed the lowest interest in and knowledge of CO2-based aviation fuels and the lowest acceptance. Spanish respondents reported the highest acceptance, while acceptance scores of German and Dutch residents ranged in between. Overall, the findings provide a pan-European insight into the social readiness for CO2-based aviation fuels and its determinants, providing targeted information on public adoption conditions and requirements for Carbon Capture and Utilization technology developers and the aviation industry.

“…There are vast distances between many of the country's locations, particularly in the northern regions, where the lack of cost-effective and ef icient public transport often makes lying the sole viable option for reaching certain destinations. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the majority of internal lights are in areas where loweremission alternatives are available (Andersen, 2022).…”

Ten-year Regional Outlook: Future Perspectives for Electric Aviation in the Nordic Region

Electric aviation has gained momentum in the Nordic region in recent years. Given its unique geographical features and strong commitment to climate-neutral transport, the Nordic region represents an ideal testing ground for electric aviation. In five to ten years from now, electric aviation has the potential to become reality, so it is crucial to explore which factors may affect its implementation and how regional development may be impacted. The “Electric Aviation and the Effects on the Nordic Region” project presents a ten-year future scenario for electric aviation in the Nordic region. In this report, we explore future scenarios for five selected Nordic routes and identify the key driving forces behind that transformative shift, as well as the positive and negative impacts of electric aviation. The scenarios were developed through focus group discussions conducted with key stakeholders from each of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). The main findings of the study show that electric aviation is generally perceived positively in the various Nordic countries. However, there are also certain contextual differences relating to whether electric aviation is viewed as a pathway to achieving climate targets and removing emissions, stimulating regional development and accessibility of remote areas, or as a new travel option compared to conventional flights. Even though the general attitude towards electric aviation seems to be positive, scepticism and questions regarding the social acceptance of the new technology emerged, as well as the uncertainty around who will be the investors to kick-off the new technology. Furthermore, the future scenarios suggest that a high level of support from local and national governing bodies is required in order to make electric aviation a viable air transport mode in the Nordic region. The insights of this report are intended both to inform decision-makers and to provide nuanced observations from each Nordic country and explore future pathways towards a sustainable and more integrated Nordic region in line with the 2030 vision of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

“…Therefore, utterances in the public debate can be criticized, for instance, when they are deceptive or irrelevant to the issue in question, foreclose possibilities for critical engagement and counterargumentation or in other ways fail to present the hearers or readers with reasons. This may, for instance, involve critically investigating false accusations of climate scientists of being unscientific, elitist and conspiring (Bricker, 2013; Ceccarelli, 2011), the rhetorical use of and responses to shame appeals (Andersen, 2022) or powerful actors’ strategic use of the concept of “crisis” to legitimize debatable actions and circumvent critical discussion of controversial decisions (Whyte, 2021).…”

In this paper, I discuss rhetorical studies' contribution to the study of environmental communication. With the concept of rhetorical environmental citizenship, I emphasize rhetorical scholarship's concern with citizens' participation in democracy -both as recipients of and actors in environmental debates. Specifically, this approach invites analyses and evaluations of the public rhetoric of elite actors, considering how it facilitates critical engagement and reflection in matters affecting the environment. Additionally, it encourages examinations of citizens' democratic participation, attending to how citizens perform, challenge and negotiate their membership in the community also through non-deliberative rhetorical practices.
