Sustainability cluster

The sustainability cluster focuses on behavioural change related to environmental sustainability.

Topics include people’s perceptions about sustainability and climate change, psychological and social factors that drive the adoption of green technologies, and broader questions on how people collaborate to combat climate change.

In addition, we study how communities can adapt to changing environmental conditions. This theme is pivotal in shaping practical solutions for a sustainable future through behavioural science.
