“…Photo-elicitation is a method in which interviews use photographs as prompts for discussion, and the related photovoice approach asks participants to take and describe their own photos (O’Neill and Graham 2016; Ratnam, Drozdzewski and Chapple 2016; Sherren and Verstraten 2013). Participatory mapping approaches ask respondents to generate or annotate maps to elicit their perceptions of places (Brown 2006; Kaján 2014; Selfa, Marini and Abrams 2021; Svobodova, Owen and Harris 2021). These participatory methods offer significant potential to elicit more meaningful information about place attachment and perceptions of local impacts of climate change.…”

This review examines the interdisciplinary literature on the relationship between climate change and place. The concept of place is of interest to both humanistic geographers and environmental psychologists, who examine the ways in which individuals and groups interact with physical and cultural landscapes to form a sense of place and place attachments. As a multiscalar phenomenon that is global in its causes but local in its impacts, climate change presents several challenges to the concept of place. The relevant issues include 1) the extent to which climate-change impacts can be directly experienced, 2) the ways in which local place attachments can facilitate or impede adaptation to climate change, and 3) the grounding of climate-change mitigation in place. Drawing on literature from Earth science, human geography, and environmental psychology, the review explores how the global conceptualization of the environment prevalent in climate-change discourses can undermine notions of place, how deep connections to place can enhance the detection and attribution of climate change and contribute to climate resilience, and how climate activist movements reconcile the multiple spatial scales of climate change.

“…Recent catastrophes featured in the media such as the Brumadinho dam disaster in 2019 or the destruction in 2020 of the Juukan Gorge, an Aboriginal cave of particular archaeological importance, are also reminders that ESG issues can no longer be the subject of insufficient consideration [11]. This also shows that it is critical to acknowledge and address social and environmental concerns at the local level to support decisions and agreements taken at the national and international levels [12,13]. The risks and challenges highlighted here suggest that improving extractions technologies with a rise in commodity prices will certainly be insufficient to ensure a sustainable supply of minerals into the future.…”

“…The fossil fuel companies contribute to their hegemony in the policy sphere and consequently form the public narrative concerning the future of energy sector (Svobodova et al, 2021). Thus, in seeking ways to destabilise ossified conventional energy regimes, a narrative-based approach was chosen for the present study, a narrative-based approach was chosen for the present study.…”

A new narrative for sustainability: Exploring biogas plants as ‘first movers’ in raising energy awareness

It is not only worth talking about the chances of survival in the fight against emerging environmental and socio-economic threats, but it is necessary to use all possible means to influence public awareness. It is awareness that shapes our attitudes and literacy. The core of these tools is cross-sectoral place-based education. This raises the question of the role of new energy actors in the education process. As ‘first movers’, they have enormous power in the local community. Are they therefore merely energy producers, or perhaps, using their position, are they actively involved in creating local energy behaviours? A combination of social research methods including qualitative studies helped respond to this question. As the study shows, an opportunity for effective education is contextualisation, embedding educators in the local social structure and including first movers – energy producers – in this process. Biogas entrepreneurs transpose the knowledge of renewable energy – a globally known issue – to the local level. The provision of comprehensive education requires institutional support focused on building partnerships between policy makers, teachers and practitioners, enabling not only trans-sectoral contact but also the exchange of experience.
