- Additional information
- This multicomponent output consists of a book chapter on the role of films in environmental communication in the first "Handbook of Climate Change Communication" by Springer and a short environmental film “Be Tradition” which illustrates the theories developed in the chapter. “Be Tradition” is about utilisation of carbon dioxide with green energy and uses 'tradition' as a metaphor for 'sustainability’. The goal is for the viewer to experience a link between tradition (in this case the Italian tradition of cooking) and sustainability (in this case the use of renewable energy and CO2 for making fuels). The film was produced in collaboration with Dr. Enrico Andreoli, a senior lecturer in engineering at Swansea University, and funded by the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI). The aim of the collaboration was to better understand and study the process of cooperation between the humanities and science.
