This public lecture describes efforts from the Attari lab that address problems related to human behavior, resource use, and climate change. Using methods that have strong links to environmental and psychological science, highlights from research ranging from perceptions of household-level energy use to state- and country-level energy mixes, and ways to correct misperceptions will be presented. What motivating factors for decarbonization solutions need to be addressed? This talk will end with a brief overview of ongoing work that deals with low carbon technology uptake.
