Do risk, time, and social preferences predict sustainable behavior? Evidence from a qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis
Guaranteed Income Programs
To fill gaps in the safety net, municipalities have experimented with giving low-income residents a guaranteed income: regular cash transfers that can be spent without restriction. Combining survey evidence from a randomized experiment ( n = 1,074) with longitudinal in-depth qualitative interviews ( n = 56), we evaluate a two-year guaranteed income program in Compton, California. Recipients indicated that smaller, steadier transfers helped them k…
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…
Fair group decisions via non-deterministic proportional consensus
Are there group decision methods which (i) give everyone, including minorities, an equal share of effective decision power even when voters act strategically, (ii) promote consensus and equality, rather than polarization and inequality, and (iii) do not favour the status quo or rely too much on chance? We describe two non-deterministic group decision methods that meet these criteria, one based on automatic bargaining over lotteries, the other on …
Seizing the policy opportunities for health- and equity-improving energy decisions
Navigating the Morally Distressing Storm
There is growing attention to the emotional and mental health impacts of climate change. This has led to the proliferation of related concepts, including climate grief and anxiety, to describe different facets of this emotional response. However, these concepts tend to be agnostic to the sociopolitical and moral dimensions of climate change. Climate change has been described as a form of structural or slow violence, characterized by ongoing and d…

A method to identify positive tipping points to accelerate low-carbon transitions and actions to trigger them
Meeting the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to "well below 2 °C" requires a radical acceleration of action, as the global economy is decarbonising at least five times too slowly. Tipping points, where low-carbon transitions become self-propelling, could be key to achieving the necessary acceleration. We deem these normatively 'positive', because they can limit considerable, inequitable harms from global warming and help achieve sustainabi…
Assessing Nudge Impact
Nudging as a strategy to alter behaviors has garnered increasing attention from both researchers and policymakers. Here, we conduct a second‐order meta‐analysis, synthesizing 13 articles (14 meta‐analyses) that include 1638 primary studies and approximately 30 million participants. We find a small aggregated effect size across these meta‐analyses ( d = 0.27, 95% CI [0.16, 0.38]), which drops to d = 0.004 after adjusting for publication bias. Exam…
Addressing climate change with behavioral science
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interve…
Governance for Earth system tipping points – A research agenda
Tipping points in the Earth system could be passed within the Paris Agreement's temperature goal range (1.5°C–2°C). Tipping processes are a feature of complex Earth system dynamics that present major governance challenges not addressed by existing global governance institutions. The common governance toolkit is a poor match for dealing with tipping processes, especially non-linear change, and radical intertemporality. To support the development o…
All Hearts and Minds on Deck
Emotions shape judgments and decisions, including actions in response to climate change. Despite growing interest in the cognitive, social, and political determinants of climate (in)action, the role of emotions has received limited attention. This review discusses the role of hope in climate action. While many emotional states are oriented to the past or present, hope offers a positive vision of the future. In exploratory analyses of a nationally…

How Would Americans Respond to Direct Cash Transfers? Results from Two Survey Experiments
Universal basic income has gained renewed interest among policy makers and researchers in the United States. Although research indicates that unconditional cash transfers produce diverse benefits for households, public support lags in part because of predicted unemployment and frivolous spending. To understand how Americans would reorganize their lives around unconditional cash transfers, this article examines the relationship between the structu…
Scaling Up Change
Anthropogenic carbon emissions have the potential to trigger changes in climate and ecosystems that would be catastrophic for the well-being of humans and other species. Widespread shifts in production and consumption patterns are urgently needed to address climate change. Although transnational agreements and national policy are necessary for a transition to a fully decarbonized global economy, fluctuating political priorities and lobbying by ve…

Group identities can undermine social tipping after intervention
Five years of Nature Human Behaviour
dispute with Canada regarding softwood lumber ranks as the largest and longest-lasting trade dispute involving the United States. Canada and the United States have battled over alleged Canadian lumber subsidies for over a hundred years. Since 1982, the United States has attempted four times to impose special tariffs or countervailing duties on Canadian imports. The latest effort began in April 2000, and has involved the U.S. courts, the North Ame…
Cognition and behavior in context
The complex, context-dependent, and dynamic nature of human behavior is increasingly recognized as both an important cause of sustainability problems and potential leverage for their solution. Human beings are diverse, as are the social, ecological, and institutional settings in which they are embedded. Despite this recognition and extensive knowledge about human decision-making in the behavioral sciences, empirical analysis, formal models, and d…
Voting in a global pandemic
OBJECTIVE: We investigate the impact of a global health crisis on political behavior. Specifically, we assess the impact of Covid-19 incidence rates, and the impact of temporal and spatial proximity to the crisis, on voter turnout in the 2020 Brazilian municipal elections. METHODS: We use Ordinary Least Squares and Spatial Durbin Error models to evaluate sub-national variation in municipal-level Covid-19 incidence and voter turnout. We include co…
