Tim has been successful in receiving an ESRC ‘Follow-On Fund’ award linked to his recent 12-month Fellowship in DECC. The award will allow him to spend 5-months over the next year extending the learning on Energy Behaviours from his original Fellowship with DECC, Defra, DfT and DCLG. The work will help to develop and implement ‘multi-model’ approaches to climate and energy behaviours within government (see Chatterton, 2011 http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/about/ec_social_res/sr_cus_insight/sr_cus_insight.aspx and Wilson and Chatterton, 2011 http://www.envplan.com/epa/editorials/a44404.pdf).
In addition to this, the opportunity to work simultaneously with 4 of the main climate change Departments will be used to help identify areas of weakness in terms of cross-departmental policies, and encourage more co-ordinated working.
