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.
