Sustainability and Behavioural Change
Sustainability and Behavioural Change
An LSE Public Policy Review Symposium
What does it truly mean to achieve a sustainable future — and what kinds of change will get us there? This new LSE Public Policy Review issue will focus on how we understand sustainability, the systemic shifts required to realize it and their practical viability. In doing so, it will explore incremental versus transformative pathways to a sustainable planet, inviting experts from a range of disciplines – from psychology and behavioural science to law and social policy – to consider how large scale pro-environmental behavioural change can be fostered, but also the challenges to achieve this.
