Stuart Capstick is based at Cardiff University and is jointly leading the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation’s research designing and trialling new approaches to bring about change at all levels from household to national level.

Stuart researches public understanding of climate change and ways to engage people with the transformations needed to achieve emissions reduction. He has led work looking at how the social sciences can contribute to more radical emissions reduction through behaviour and lifestyle change. His research has also considered the development of effective climate change communication, working with others across the natural and social sciences and civil society. As part of his research within the CAST Centre, Stuart works with Welsh Government and others to develop new approaches to tackling climate change.
