A megastudy of behavioral interventions to catalyze public, political, and financial climate advocacy
Addressing climate change depends on large-scale system changes, which require public advocacy. Here, we identified and tested 17 expert-crowdsourced theory-informed behavioral interventions designed to promote public, political, and financial advocacy in a large quota-matched sample of US residents (n = 31,324). The most consistently effective intervention emphasized both the collective efficacy and emotional benefits of climate action, increasi…
Food choice with increased visibility – A field experiment at an environmental economics conference
Response diversity as a sustainability strategy
How developed countries can learn from developing countries to tackle climate change
Resilience in the global food system
Ensuring food security requires food production and distribution systems function throughout disruptions. Understanding the factors that contribute to the global food system's ability to respond and adapt to such disruptions (i.e. resilience) is critical for understanding the long-term sustainability of human populations. Variable impacts of production shocks on food supply between countries indicate a need for national-scale resilience indicator…
Using Adaptation Insurance to Incentivize Climate-change Mitigation
Reserves and trade jointly determine exposure to food supply shocks
While a growing proportion of global food consumption is obtained through international trade, there is an ongoing debate on whether this increased reliance on trade benefits or hinders food security, and specifically, the ability of global food systems to absorb shocks due to local or regional losses of production. This paper introduces a model that simulates the short-term response to a food supply shock originating in a single country, which i…
Past and present biophysical redundancy of countries as a buffer to changes in food supply
Spatially diverse trends in population growth, climate change, industrialization, urbanization and \neconomic development are expected to change future food supply and demand. These changes may \naffect the suitability of land for food production, implying elevated risks especially for resourceconstrained, \nfood-importing countries. We present the evolution of biophysical redundancy for \nagricultural production at country level, from 1992 to 20…
Inequality, communication, and the avoidance of disastrous climate change in a public goods game
International efforts to provide global public goods often face the challenges of coordinating national contributions and distributing costs equitably in the face of uncertainty, inequality, and free-riding incentives. In an experimental setting, we distribute endowments unequally among a group of people who can reach a fixed target sum through successive money contributions, knowing that if they fail, they will lose all their remaining money wit…
