This is exacerbated in the United States\, where rising partisan polarization over climate change–and environmental protection more broadly–has made climate policy enactment exceedingly difficult. Today\, politicians and advocates are championing a new idea: linking climate policy to other economic and social reforms. Will this approach generate greater public support for climate action? Here\, we test this coalition-building strategy. Using two conjoint experiments on a representative sample of 2\,476 Americans\, we evaluate the marginal impact of 40 different climate\, social\, and economic policies on support for climate reforms. Overall\, we find climate policy bundles that include social and economic reforms such as affordable housing\, a $15 minimum wage\, or a job guarantee increase US public support for climate mitigation. Clean energy standards\, regardless of which technologies are included\, also make climate policy more popular. Linking climate policy to economic and social issues is particularly effective at expanding climate policy support among people of color.\nFaculty\, staff\, students and the public are invited to come hear Dr. Parrish Bergquist speak on her research regarding climate policy and public opinion. There will be complimentary refreshments\, CFEs available by request\, and parking is available on the 3rd and 4th floors of the South Quad parking deck on Duncan Drive\, directly across from the SFWS Building.

The Auburn School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences will present the final lecture of the 2017 Weaver Lecture Series. The lecture will feature David Fowler\\, Professor at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology\\, Edinburgh\\, United Kingdom.

Fowler\'s talk will discuss the efficacy of the Earth’s ecosystems\\, atmosphere and oceans to globally cycle increased fixed nitrogen from human activity.

\n

Professor Fowler trained in environmental physics at the University of Nottingham\\, obtaining a Ph.D. in 1976 from research on the dry deposition of sulfur dioxide by micrometeorological methods. His research focuses on the surface – atmosphere exchange processes of trace gases and particulate matter and has been applied to ozone\\, acid deposition\\, the global biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen\\, emissions of greenhouse gases\\, atmospheric aerosols and effects of pollutants on vegetation.

\n

Fowler’s work has been widely applied in the development of effects-based pollution control strategies in the United Kingdom and Europe. He was awarded an Honorary Professorship at the University of Nottingham in 1991\\, became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1999\\, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 2002. In 2005\\, he was awarded a CBE or Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his research of atmospheric pollution.

\n

A reception for Dr. Fowler will be held at 3 pm just prior to his lecture.
