🔥 Hot Take: What’s holding back behavioral research on climate change mitigation? 🌍 Behavioral science has substantial potential for contributing to solving the climate crisis, but I see two critical challenges limiting its impact🧵👇 #ClimateAction #BehavioralScience #Sustainability

Would you pay to protect koala habitats or blue-green spaces like your local lake? Led by @zlevo.bsky.social, we examined whether thinking about high-impact #health or #climate events would make someone more willing to financially support these areas. Read here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

📣 *New science alert* 🌏Global trust in scientists project led by @colognaviktoria.bsky.social and @nielsmede.bsky.social is out today in Nature Human Behaviour: go.nature.com/40pox5P 🦘Some interesting Australia-specific results in our Conversation piece below, led by @mdmarques.com
theconversation.com
Most of us trust scientists, shows a survey of nearly 72,000 people worldwide
A global new survey shows there’s no crisis of trust in scientists, as some might claim. But there are some nuances.

From the NCC article: “a perceived cleavage has appeared between scientists, where one group is charged with pedalling ‘doom-ism’,… the other… described as ‘hopeism’ or ‘techno-optimism’. None of these labels is intended to be flattering” #envpsy
