Survey on climate-changing measures - Reflection

At the beginning we had some difficulties to decide which topic we're going to choose. However, we decided on the topic of climate-changing measures because it was the only thing that we all agreed on.

Unfortunately, no one wanted to coorperate with us. But we also think, that it would have been much more complicated to do a collaboration, because our project is based on a survey.

We didn't have any struggles to decide who's going to do what. It was also very interesting to do such a project in English. 

A bit sad was, that we didn't get as much answers from our survey as we expected to. Even though we spread it in many different ways.

Although everything worked out, we couldn't get much knowledge out of our project and would choose something different next time.

But in the end, we're happy with our final result.

We got an answer from one of our specialists

We finally got an answer from the speciaist, Mrs Probst to the following question: "Where do you think most costs arise if you do nothing about our climate?"

Here's what she wrote:

"Ich habe eure Umfrage gestern ausgefüllt. Die Frage bezüglich der Kosten ist schwierig zu beantworten. Solche Voraussagen werden mit Hilfe von Modellen berechnet, die Ergebnisse sind aber nicht gleich je nach Studie, da unterschiedliche Faktoren berücksichtigt werden. 

Ich gebe euch aber absolut recht, dass erhöhte Kosten für das Gesundheitssystem (zunehmende Hitze in Städten belastet speziell ältere Leute), bei der Infrastruktur (Schäden infolge von Starkniederschlägen, die zunehmen werden oder Felsstürzen, weil der Permafrost auftaut, etc.), in der Landwirtschaft (Ernteausfälle infolge von Dürreperioden) anfallen werden. Es sind aber erhöhte Kosten in fast allen Sektoren zu erwarten, wenn nicht frühzeitig Massnahmen ergriffen werden. Ich habe euch noch zwei Artikel verlinkt, die für eure Arbeit interessant sein könnten:"

REMINDER -=>Categories are the bones of The Horse

Exciting projects in the context of city climate & city trees are in development or "growing"; each project team as well as all collaboration teams get their own category. Here you collect all material, text, media, etc. for sharing with others and later for your publication on the website dontwastemy.energy.

The journey of discovery is underway!

Collaboration - Survey on climate-changing measures

Hello everyone

We're looking for a collaboration partner for our project about climate-changing measures.

In our project we want to show, what people think about climate-changing measures, what they already do to implement them and even more questions. For that we made a survey. The link will be posted soon. Another big question for our project is to find out where costs would arise, if we don't do anything for our climate. We hope that an expert can answer us this specific question.

More information about our project is posted on the Horse.

A cooperation to see a different point of view would be very interesting.

Our experience so far - survey on climate-changing measures

What to do to stop climate change? Even with little things we can help our environment a lot. That is why we would like to change people's mindset with our project in order to help the earth. To start, we decided to take a survey to get people's opinions and to find out what they already know and do for our environment. We are going to create a German and English version of the survey, which we will post soon.

Questions for our survey - Survey on climate-changing measures

We are going to create a survey in order to find out about peoples opinions and to find out what they already know and do for our environment. Our goal is to show people, how many of them already do something for the earth.

 

Link for the german survey: https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/JgQ8WMUA

 

These are our questions:

1. Von welchen Klimawirksamen Massnahmen wissen Sie bereits?

2. Welche Massnahmen setzen Sie bereits um?

3. Wie viel von einer Skala von 1-10 machen Sie für unser Klima?

 
 Wie viel machen Sie für das Klima 1-2 
Nichts
3-4
sehr wenig
5-6
ein wenig
7-8
viel
9-10
sehr viel

4. Wieso setzen Sie gewisse Massnahmen nicht um?

5. Was braucht es für Sie, um diese Massnahmen umzusetzen?

6. Wo denken Sie, fallen die meisten Kosten an, wenn man sich nicht für das Klima einsetzt?

7. Was halten Sie von "Grünen Zonen", die nur mit Elektro-Autos befahrbar sind?

Bitte angeben:

Der letzte Schwachsinn
Habe schon bessere Ideen gehört
Die Idee ist gut, hat aber ein paar Schwachstellen
Eine gute Idee
Ich finde die Idee wunderbar 

8. Wie würden Sie reagieren, wenn Ihre Strasse ab sofort nur noch mit Elektroautos befahrbar wäre?

 

9. Wie stellen Sie sich die Stadt der Zukunft vor?

10. Zählen Sie 5 Sachen auf, welche Sie bei einer Stadt der Zukunft voraussetzen.

Concept, time plan - survey on climate-changing measures

I Julian, Lukas and Livia

II How can you get people to implement climate-chaning measures?

- What do people already know about climate-changing measures?
- Where are the main costs if you do nothing for the climate?
- Why don't people implement climate-changing measures?

III Survey on climate-changing measures

Survey in german/english for every age group.

Possible questions:

- Which measures do you already know of?
- What do you already do for our climate?
- How much do you do for the climate?
- Why don't you implement certain measures? (lack of information, lack of money, lack of motivation etc.)
- What would it take you to implement those measures?
- Where do you think are main costs of doing nothing about the climate change?

Product: results of our survey + seperate post

IV We're going to create a survey on an online tool.

For the answer to the question about the costs which would arise if we do nothing, we want to ask a specialist. Who this is going to be isn't certain yet.

V Isn't certain yet.

VI It should be well structured with clear headings and texts. It should also have enough pictures for better understanding. The results of the survey and the calculations should be visible on our post.

 

 

 

 

Imagination of Survey on climate-changing measures

We hope to get a lot of data from our survey and to get people to care about these things. The survey should have more than 10 questions. We will make two versions. One in German and one in English to get more international participants. Our goal is to at least get 100 participants.

Surely we will be able to find some participants, which aren't from Switzerland.

We want to find a person, which is able to calculate us, how much it'd cost if we don't do anything about the environment.

Lost a lot of Progress, because it didn't save the post. Will have to write it again...

Survey on climate-changing measures

How can you get people to implement climate-changing measures?

 

What is our goal?

We would like to get people to implement climate-changing measures. We want to know, why some people do not implement them and what they'd need to change their opinion. Is lack of information? Financial reasons? Do we need laws? It would also be interesting to know where the costs arise above all from doing nothing about the climate. It would be really nice if we could find someone who could answer this question.More...
