POLICY HIGHLIGHTS
oecd cONFERENCE ON BEHAVIOURAL INSIGHTS - MAY 2017
WEBINAR ON Tackling Environmental Problems with Behavioural Insights
How have behavioural insights been used by governments to tackle environmental problems and which behavioural interventions have been shown to work in practice?
Watch the video - On 17 May, Elisabetta Cornago of the OECD Environment Directorate discussed how governments have leveraged behavioural insights to encourage more sustainable consumption, investment and compliance decisions by individuals and firms.
The presentation is based on the OECD report Tackling Environmental Problems with the Help of Behavioural Insights published on 10 May.
The report shows that insights from the behavioural sciences – behavioural insights – can help policy makers obtain a deeper understanding of the behavioural mechanisms that contribute to environmental problems, and design and implement more effective policy interventions.
