The Chair of Environmental and Behavioral Economics has successfully contributed two articles to the first round of Policy Ultra-Briefs: Verhaltenswissenschaft für die politische Praxis (Behavioral science for political practice) on climate protection, initiated by the German Psychological Society (DGPs). The series offers policymakers compact, scientifically verified short insights. Their need for well-founded, evidence-based answers to pressing social challenges is addressed with the latest findings from psychology and related behavioral sciences and translated into clear, politically relevant options for action. 

The two articles are available here (in German). 

Astrid Dannenberg, Johannes Diederich, and Timo Goeschl: Was beeinflusst unsere individuellen Klimaschutz-Beiträge? Verhaltenswissenschaftliche Hebel für wirksame Politik (What affects our individual climate protection contributions? Behavioral science levers for effective policy)

Eva Weingärtner, Paul Lohmann, and Astrid Dannenberg: Politikinstrumente für einen umweltfreundlicheren Lebensmittelkonsum (Policy instruments for more environmentally friendly food consumption)
