EMBER: Exchanging insights on media and behavioural change to reduce open burning in East JavA

Awarded £25,643 for project from International Science Partnerships Fund. Open burning of waste is a global problem particularly in LMICs where there is a lack of waste management infrastructure however the problem is unlikely to be solved through technical means alone. EMBER draws on the tools of Humanities and Social Sciences in relation to media and behavioural change to apply innovative research insights to the problem which foreground the heterogeneity of audiences and role of media in shaping behaviours and understandings
