Our featured speaker is Dr. Kristian Steensen Nielsen, Assistant Professor at the Department of Management, Society and Communication, Copenhagen Business School.

Talk title:
(Mis)perceptions of the carbon footprint of behaviors and different lifestyles

Abstract:
People who want to take action to tackle climate change sometimes end up focusing on behaviors with small or negligible climate impacts. In this talk, Dr. Nielsen will discuss recent research on misperceptions of the carbon footprint of behaviors and lifestyles, what we can expect from correcting these misperceptions, and how to identify high-impact actions that vary across people and contexts. He will also offer directions for future research in behavioral science.

The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A.

We hope you will join us for this engaging event.

Best regards,
Stylianos Syropoulos
