Resumen
Descripción
Climate change is anthropogenic - the
product of billions of acts of daily consumption. That
solutions need to be anthropogenic too is well accepted.
Yet, suggested solutions are normally cast in the realms of
finance and technology, often neglecting the primal root of
the problem: individual behavior. An emerging body of
social-psychology scholarship has examined the barriers and
drivers of individual behavior in relation to both
adaptation and mitigation. This paper reviews some of its
conclusions, and suggests policy areas that should be
considered in devising appropriate interventions.
