Great to see the Climate Change Committee (CCC) calling for public figures to “lead by example” on climate change, citing our research.
CCC says leading by example increases public buy-in and behaviour change @thecccuk.bsky.social

Keir Starmer says the UK can decarbonise without disruption – that’s neither true nor helpful
It’s the government’s job to make it easier and cheaper for people to change their lives.

Love the intervention class descriptions. In other fields (I'm thinking about #travelDemandManagement) the definitions are not sufficiently nuanced and there is just too much overlap. Thanks 👍🏼
So, what are other behavior change interventions?
A few years ago, we published a simple catalog of interventions inspired by behavioral science research.
The catalog distinguishes between individual and population levels and the mechanisms through which behavior is influenced. 📚
