The impacts of anthropogenic climate change are rapidly worsening, but current efforts to mitigate this crisis are insufficient. Therefore, it is critically important to understand how to motivate more individuals to take action to protect against future climate change impacts. This study examines the individual-level factors that predict motivations to act, as well as potential barriers to action in a sample of Canadian adults. Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed a) demographics; b) climate change knowledge, opinions, and scepticism; and c) psychological factors that may impede action. The responses were analyzed to determine the factors that explain whether individuals would change their actions in light of climate change and to what extent climate change considerations impact their actions. Predictors of action included how informed individuals were about climate change, perceived severity of its effects, perceived urgency to act, and climate change scepticism. The strongest predictor was perceived powerlessness; individuals who felt a sense of powerlessness were less likely to change their actions and reported that the threat of climate change had less influence over their behaviours. Powerlessness in turn was associated with age and political affiliation. Implications of these findings, and possible solutions to overcome the barrier of perceived powerlessness, are discussed.
人为气候变化的影响正在迅速恶化，但目前为缓解这一危机所做的努力还远远不够。因此，了解如何激励更多的人采取行动保护自己免受未来气候变化的影响至关重要。本研究以加拿大成年人为样本，探讨了预测行动动机的个人层面因素以及行动的潜在障碍。参与者填写了一份调查问卷，其中评估了 a) 人口统计学；b) 气候变化知识、观点和怀疑态度；以及 c) 可能阻碍行动的心理因素。通过对问卷回答进行分析，确定了个人是否会根据气候变化改变行动的因素，以及气候变化因素在多大程度上影响了他们的行动。预测行动的因素包括个人对气候变化的了解程度、对气候变化影响严重性的感知、对行动紧迫性的感知以及对气候变化的怀疑。最有力的预测因素是感觉到的无力感；感觉到无力感的个人不太可能改变他们的行动，并表示气候变化的威胁对他们行为的影响较小。而无力感又与年龄和政治派别有关。本文讨论了这些发现的影响，以及克服无力感障碍的可能解决方案。

In the current study, we explored the prison design and infrastructural changes that Canadian correctional officers consider to be essential in the construction of a new provincial correctional institution intended to replace Her Majesty's Penitentiary (HMP) in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Analyzing 28 semi-structured interviews conducted with correctional officers employed at HMP, we found the poor working conditions within HMP are, at least in part, related to the physical design of the prison, including inadequate lighting, poor air quality and temperature, high sound levels, and other spatial limitations. Building on the prison design literature, findings suggest that while prison design requires attention to physical security at the forefront, there are ways to improve the space, recognizing how an uncomfortable workplace and living conditions also pose a potential threat to the well-being and safety of correctional officers and people who are incarcerated.

This article explores the potential of Okanagan Valley as a place of distinctive wines and the tourism experiences that match these wines. By “distinctive” I mean wines with a sense of place woven into their production and marketing—wines that are called “terroir-driven” in the wine world. My focus is not on wine production, but on place-making and regional planning. The article is informed by geographical and sociological work on wine, but it accentuates the empirical over the conceptual to explore the long-term potential of the Okanagan as a wine destination. Methodologically, the paper synthesizes academic and trade sources with primary fieldwork material, including participant observation in the region and interviews with wine professionals in British Columbia. It contributes to the efforts to forge an authentic narrative for the Okanagan as a place of wine.
