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.
