Evidence of impact
Influencing behavioural change through ‘nudge’ policies (Bovens): Behaviour change. Science and Technology Committee. House of Lords. 11 July 2011. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201012/ldselect/ldsctech/179/17902.htm with references to Bovens' work in Chapter 2 and Appendix 6. Website ‘Doing and Omitting: More Effective Environmental Policies through Knowledge of Human Behaviour’ http://www.rli.nl/publicaties/2014/advies/doen-en-laten-effectiever-milieubeleid-door-mensenkennis
Advice to the Dutch Government Government: ‘Doing and Omitting: More Effective Environmental Policies through Knowledge of Human Behaviour’ (in Dutch – Advice to the Dutch Government and Analysis)
Influencing approaches to predicting climate change: The Decisions taken in the Delta Programme are based on its "Scenarios". The website states explicitly that key parts of the programme were drawn up on the basis of the climate scenarios of the KNMI. The Advisory Board report: http://www.knmi.nl/klimaatscenarios/documents/AdvisoryBoard_report_towards_KNMI13.pdf The document contains extensive argumentation why the scenario-based approach is preferable to the probabilistic approach. This move is largely due to Peterson’s presence in the board. This website documents a conference in the Munich Re offices under the auspices of LSE Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy with contributions by Frigg, Smith and Peterson. http://www.munichre.com/site/corporate/get/documents_E155500600/mr/assetpool.shared/Documents/0_Corporate%20Website/1_The%20Group/Focus/Climate%20Change/programme_symposium_2009_07_20_en.pdf
