Subject: Research Need: Behavior Change Scenarios
Comment:
Research Need: Develop Widespread Behavior Change Scenarios, including an “enlightened humanity” scenario. Between 2013 and 2050, there is chance for widespread human behavior change on the order of World War II US home front collaboration, rationing and economic restructuring. As a provocative GHG behavior-centered example, what if we all became vegetarians in 2022 to reduce GHG production? As part of the process to envision and forecast the resultant CA in 2050, please conduct appropriate behavior change research as this may lead to large scale GHG reduction. The Behavior, Energy, and Climate Change Conference could become a natural home over the next few decades for ongoing research on behavior change related to CA climate. The conference is held every year in November. Sacramento is the home for the 2010, 2012, and upcoming 2013 conferences. http://beccconference.org/. The BECC Conference is convened by the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC), Stanford University, American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), and California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE), University of California.
