This event is for anyone with an interest in successful sustainability initiatives in a variety of organisations - with a focus on pro-environmental behaviour and the psychology of behaviour change. Through a range of case studies and workshops you can find out about what has worked and why.
As this event is open to anyone to attend it is an opportunity to meet and network with both psychologists and sustainability professionals.
This event is open to BPS members, DOP members, psychologists and non-psychologists, sustainability professionals, students and academics. It will offer delegates the opportunity to:
Dr Jan Maskell
Carbon Conversations - an overview of the group process to share ideas about carbon reduction
In this workshop Jan will introduce the Carbon Conversations process and give an opportunity to experience some of the activities that are part of the group work. Carbon Conversations is a series of meetings where members explore the basic climate change problem, their responses to it, their ideas for a low-carbon future and the four key areas of the footprint – energy, travel, food and consumption.

Prof Stephen Sutton
The work of the BPS Behaviour Change Advisory Group and the wider context on behaviour change
In this session, I will describe the work of the BPS Behaviour Change Advisory Group. I will set this in the context of recent initiatives on behaviour change, and discuss several more general issues; for example: Are the same kinds of behaviour change interventions appropriate for -- and effective in – different behavioural domains (e.g. health and ‘non-health’ domains)? How can we develop more effective interventions? How can we engage with and influence policy-makers?
