Key energy events
CXC is hosting several key energy debates, lectures and seminars over the next few weeks:
Public perceptions of climate change in the aftermath of the winter 2013-14 flooding
 The UK winter flooding of 2013/14 provided a unique opportunity to investigate whether personal experiences of extreme weather events might change public views on climate change. This seminar with Professor Nick Pidgeon will present the main findings and communication implications of a major British survey conducted for Cardiff University.
Household energy efficiency programme evaluation: does it tell us what we need to know?
 A seminar by Dr Joanne Wade will present a summary of recent evidence about the impacts of energy efficiency programmes on household energy use, and consider whether this evidence tells us what we need to know to inform robust policy and programme design.
10:30 – 12:00 on 19 May at the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation.
