Climate change prevention and mitigation requires behavioral change or reconfiguration of behaviors and policies.

The goal of this class is to establish a transformational contact between expertise in geoscience and biological sciences and expertise in behavioral and cognitive sciences on environmental issues, in particular as the ocean and marine biodiversity are concerned.

The course

1) Draws from the life sciences and geosciences to understand what has an impact on climate change (i.e., the causal chains);

2) Draws from economics to understand how to regulate and incentivize citizens and firms to go towards what has a positive environmental impact; 

3) Draws from cognitive science to understand the psychological and social side of the needed change (how to understand and change individuals' and groups' behavior).

12 Oceana: Are women part of the picture?

19 Involving Citizens: Would you be a seatizen scientist?
