People with high socioeconomic status disproportionally affect energy-driven greenhouse gas emissions directly through their consumption and indirectly through their financial and social resources. However, few climate change mitigation initiatives have targeted this population segment, and the potential of such initiatives remains insufficiently researched. In this Perspective, we analyse key characteristics of high-socioeconomic-status people and explore five roles through which they have a…

The Widening Wealth Inequality as a Contributor to Increasing Household Carbon Emissions
The Sustainable Development Goals call for taking urgent action to combat climate change and reduce inequalities. However, the related actions have not been effective. Global CO2 emissions in 2021…

Leveraging social cognition to promote effective climate change mitigation
Effective climate change mitigation is a social dilemma: the benefits are shared collectively but the costs are often private. To solve this dilemma, we argue that we must pay close attention to the…
Strategy games to improve environmental policymaking

Current global efforts are insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C
Description Human activities have caused global temperatures to increase by 1.25°C, and the current emissions trajectory suggests that we will exceed 1.5°C in less than 10 years. Though the growth…

Climate crisis and ecological emergency: Why they concern (neuro)scientists, and what we can do
TLDR
It is argued that to help society create a survivable future, neuroscientists can and must play their part, and the need for sustainable change has never been more urgent, and all (neuro)scientists to act with the utmost urgency.

Abstract What are the roles of bottom-up and top-down signals in the formation of climate change policy preferences? Using a large sample of American residents (n = 1520) and combining an…
Household actions can provide a behavioral wedge to rapidly reduce US carbon emissions
TLDR
This work uses a behavioral approach to examine the reasonably achievable potential for near-term reductions by altered adoption and use of available technologies in US homes and nonbusiness travel and estimates the plasticity of 17 household action types in 5 behaviorally distinct categories.
Household behaviour crowds out support for climate change policy when sufficient progress is perceived
Household actions and government policies are both necessary to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, household behaviour may crowd out public support for government action by creating the…
