❓ Can large language models (LLMs) like #ChatGPT estimate public opinion about global warming? Read this empirical assessment of algorithmic fidelity and bias to find out. 🤔 The ability of LLMs to emulate human thoughts and behaviors raises an interesting question: can these models estimate human opinions about #globalwarming? This PLOS Climate research article found that LLMs such as ChatGPT can estimate public opinion about global warming, with ChatGPT-4 outperforming ChatGPT-3.5. Prompting LLMs with information about public engagement with global warming (e.g., issue involvement) yields better estimates than using demographics alone.

👷🏽♀️👩🏽👩🏾🔧 Sri Lanka’s industrial sector is stepping up to cut #energywaste and tackle #climatechange, and women are increasingly leading the charge! From sustainability initiatives to driving economic development, they’re making a real impact. But we need more women to join this movement. 🇱🇰 Last week, in partnership with UNIDO’s Accelerating Industries Climate Response in Sri Lanka project, we connected with an array of sustainability leaders and energy experts in Colombo. We talked about the challenges and opportunities of putting #genderequality at the heart of Sri Lanka’s industrial transformation. We left inspired and with a plan to take action to boost women’s participation and recognition as leaders in the country’s energy transition. Stay tuned!

👩🏾👨🏽 #Climatechange affects everyone, but not equally. In this analysis, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication explores gender differences in climate change knowledge, beliefs, risk perceptions and policy attitudes. Their new article shows how, in high per-capita emissions and income countries, more women (36%) are alarmed about climate change than men (30%). And women are also less doubtful or dismissive (11%) about climate change than men (20%). However, in low per-capita emissions and income countries, women (44%) and men (45%) are about equally alarmed about climate change.

🤔 Should we change the term we use for #climatechange? 🌏 The terms #globalwarming, #climatecrisis, #climateemergency and #climatejustice each draw attention to different aspects of climate change. Researchers have explored the various ways that people react to terminology. Overall, climate change and global warming were rated as most familiar and most concerning, and climate justice the least, with ratings for climate crisis and climate emergency falling in between. This Climactic Change paper recommends sticking with familiar terms.

✨NEW Climate Comms Resource✨ The #climatecrisis increasingly impacts our day-to-day lives ⚠️ So how can #climaterisk be better communicated? 📙 This HANDBOOK by the COP26 Universities Network in collaboration with the UCL Climate Action Unit explains insights from psychology and neuroscience on how our brains engage with the idea of climate risk. It highlights #climatejournalism hacks for writing about risk clearly. It shares lessons learned from the team’s experience working with policymakers on climate risk. And it offers a set of useful questions to help other researchers ascertain what policymakers need from climate risk research.
