Sustainability and behavioural change

An hour-long panel discussion with policy and academic experts exploring how large-scale pro-environmental behavioural change can be fostered for a sustainable future. The panel discussion will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A inviting questions from the audience.

What does it truly mean to achieve a sustainable future — and what kinds of change will get us there? You will hear from experts about incremental versus transformative pathways to a sustainable planet. The event will consider how to foster large-scale pro-environmental behavioural change as well as the challenges to achieving this.

This event launches the publication of a new issue of the LSE Public Policy Review focused on how we understand sustainability, the systemic shifts required to realise it and their practical viability.
