What’s Holding Us Back? The Dragons of Inaction. What Can we Do About It?

August 24, 2023 2:00pm – 3:00pm ADT

Most people think climate change and sustainability are important problems, but too few high-emitting global citizens are engaged in enough mitigating behavior to stem the increasing flow of greenhouse gases and other environmental problems. Why is that? Structural barriers such as a climate-averse infrastructure are part of the answer, but psychological barriers also impede behavioral choices that would facilitate mitigation, adaptation, and environmental sustainability.
