If you have a question about this talk, please contact Miriam Remshard .

Addressing climate change requires unprecedented societal transformations within a short time frame. Behavioral science has an important role to play in informing this transformation, but so far it has only had a relatively minor role in informing climate change mitigation strategies. In my talk, I will first highlight why behavioral science deserves greater scientific and policy consideration and in which aspects of mitigation behavioral science are especially important. I will then characterize the typical behavioral science approach to studying climate-relevant behaviors and pinpoint pertinent limitations and blind spots. I will close by offering suggestions for how to increase behavioral science’s contribution to mitigating climate change and its relevance for policymakers and high-level interdisciplinary research collaborations.
