Objectives & Thematic Topics
About the event
There will be a variety of parallel sessions, plenary keynotes, lectures, presentations on different approaches.
The focus of BEHAVE 2023 is to have many interactive sessions and panel discussions to learn from each other and to make new contacts. Participation is free of charge.
Behave provides a unique forum for policymakers, academia, industry and practitioners to share ideas and experiences on energy behaviour change in the scope of the energy transition to promote effective solutions for reducing CO₂ emissions and mitigating climate change.
Behavioural and life-style changes are essential to mitigate and adapt to climate change and to achieve a successful energy transition. To achieve the necessary changes, insights into energy and behaviours, and the factors that drive and influence energy behaviours are urgently needed, as well as knowledge on how to implement such insights into interventions and policy. It is important that Governments, industry, business, academics and citizens all gain know-how to engage in energy behaviour change. In addition given the scope and impacts of climate change and the energy transition, multi- and transdisciplinary collaborations are needed to acquire more holistic and feasible solutions.
BEHAVE 2023 will focus on scaling-up behaviour change in the light of the energy and climate crises and follows the UN-Climate conference (COP28) to be held the week prior to BEHAVE 2023.
BEHAVE 2023 will include both plenary and parallel sessions.
The upcoming BEHAVE 2023 will focus on scaling-up behaviour change and focus on implementing behavioural insights, knowledge and research. This edition will also reinforce the multi- and transdisciplinary approach bringing together researchers of behaviour change (academia) and practitioners within governments, businesses, and other relevant organisations.
