Lucas Geese

Lucas Geese is a Research Fellow at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA), affiliated with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and ClimateUEA. His work bridges climate policy, political behavior, and deliberative democracy, with a focus on public opinion dynamics and institutional responses to environmental challenges. Key research themes include climate change mitigation strategies, immigration policy impacts on political trust, and the efficacy of participatory governance mechanisms.

Notable contributions include analyzing the effectiveness of National Citizens’ Climate Assemblies and investigating how mainstream parties’ immigration stances influence voter behavior and far-right appeal. His research employs mixed-methods approaches, including text-as-data analysis of legislative discourse and systematic reviews of climate communication frameworks.

Geese collaborates with institutions like Green Alliance and contributes to policy-oriented discussions on climate action during electoral cycles. His work frequently emphasizes the interplay between political institutions, public perception, and environmental governance, with a focus on equitable policy design and cross-sectoral integration.

His affiliations include leading roles in interdisciplinary climate research networks, addressing both academic and practical dimensions of sustainability transitions. Recent outputs highlight methodological innovations in survey design for climate question classification and critical analyses of low-carbon policy implementation barriers.
