“Saving our planet is now a communications challenge. We know what to do, we just need the will.” Well said, Sir David Attenborough (David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet). Read our new policy note here: bbc.co.uk/mediaaction/ou… #COP26 #ClimateActionNow

📢 BREAKING: The #COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact has been agreed. It has kept 1.5 degrees alive. But, it will only survive if promises are kept and commitments translate into rapid action. #TogetherForOurPlanet

"Hearing no objections, it is so decided.“ In Glasgow, governments have just adopted the first key decisions of the #COP26 closing plenary.

The "Human Response to Climate Change" issue in Current Opinion in Behavioral Science, edited by Sander van der Linden and Elke Weber, is now complete and has been made freely available through the end of the year in support of the COP26 meeting: sciencedirect.com/journal/curren….

Emotions are important drivers of our judgments and behaviors. Can we use their force to promote sustainable action? If you're curious, find some reflections and suggestions in this new paper co-authored with Linda Steg: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S25…
