But to achieve these large reductions, policies are needed to help drive individual change, often through government or businesses.

Key Points: 
  • But to achieve these large reductions, policies are needed to help drive individual change, often through government or businesses.
  • _But research in social and behavioral science for the best solutions has been lagging behind communication of climate and the physical science of it.
  • The discussion of the relationship between human behavior and climate change consisted of three panels and six speakers.

Electrification and incentives

    • The experiment raised indoor temperatures and reduced air conditioner use during the afternoon, usually a time when energy costs were high.
    • To reduce greenhouse gases significantly, Wichman said, the U.S. needs the right incentives to inspire such behavioral changes as reducing water use.
    • He also explained that, while encouraging the electrification of homes and vehicles is important, there must also be policies that promote clean electricity and discourage high-emissions behaviors.

Individuals matter in culture shifts

    • Andrew Hoffman, Holcim Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan.
    • Hoffman identified policies needed to lower climate-warming emissions, including reducing corporations’ emissions and giving nature, such as rivers, legally enforceable rights.
