DESCRIPTION:Addressing climate change requires unprecedented societal tran
 sformations within a short time frame. Behavioral science has an important
  role to play in informing this transformation\, but so far it has only ha
 d a relatively minor role in informing climate change mitigation strategie
 s. In my talk\, I will first highlight why behavioral science deserves gre
 ater scientific and policy consideration and in which aspects of mitigatio
 n behavioral science are especially important. I will then characterize th
 e typical behavioral science approach to studying climate-relevant behavio
 rs and pinpoint pertinent limitations and blind spots. I will close by off
 ering suggestions for how to increase behavioral science’s contribution 
 to mitigating climate change and its relevance for policymakers and high-l
 evel interdisciplinary research collaborations.
