A NEW book has been written by staff an Oxford charity to encourage the public to think more about climate change issues.

Adam Corner and Jamie Clarke, of Climate Outreach in Cowley Road, have written Talking Climate: From Research to Practice in Public Engagement.

A charity spokesman said: “Real change can only happen if there is widespread, sustained alteration in public consciousness.

“A new agenda for public engagement is required to make these pieces fit together.”

The book is published by Palgrave MacMillan and costs £37.99.
