Consider how changing mindsets and taking action during big life changes can transform how we live, play, move, consume and eat. Tapping into the ‘when of change’ enables us to rapidly spread sustainable behaviours and practices through the support and services provided by institutions big and small. Engage with global experts: - Prof. Jiaying Zhao - Associate Professor at the The University of British Columbia in the Department of Psychology & Canada Research Chair in Behavioural Sustainability specializing in the intersection of happiness and climate. - Prof. Lorraine Whitmarsh MBE Professor of Psychology at the University of Bath, Director of the The Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST) & academic lead on Moments of Change analyzing how moments of individual and societal disruption can lead to lifestyle changes that make a positive environmental impact. - Prof. Kate Burningham - Professor in Sociology of the Environment at the University of Surrey & Co-Director at CUSP | Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity reflecting on longitudinal research on everyday consumption through moments of life course change. Plus, a special pre-recorded reflection from our partner Dr. Lewis Akenji - Hot or Cool Institute on the power of tapping into big life changes to advance sustainable and prosperous futures.
