Behavioural science for ecological economists – Kristian Steensen Nielsen

We are pleased to kick off season 4 by talking about what ecological economists need to know about human behaviour. Our guide to these issues is Kristian Steensen Nielsen, a behavioural scientist and assistant professor at Copenhagen Business School focusing on the role of behaviour change in mitigating climate change and conserving biodiversity. Kristian specialises in identifying the feasibility and scalability of initiatives to change behaviour, understanding how individual behavior changes can contribute to limiting ecological damages.

Om Podcasten

The world is on fire. We have to radically and rapidly transform every aspect of society to stay within 1.5 degrees of global warming. How is this possible? And how do we do this in a way that is fair? Ecological economists integrating ecological and critical social perspectives have long been working on ideas to bring about just sustainability transformations. This podcast aims at communicating these ideas in order to open them to critical discussion, from global problems to people’s everyday lives.
