Das wird immer wieder weltweit bestätigt, hier aktuell bei uns in 🇩🇪: die Mehrheit der Menschen wünscht sich mehr Klimaschutz!
Denn wir haben die Lösungen, aber wir verlieren gerade den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit für eine lebenswerte Zukunft.

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐
We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts).

Further robust evidence suggesting green nudges at the individual level are unlikely to make a difference. As we recently suggested, it is time to abandon the prevailing success focus and rather think of this body of evidence as pointing to the many structural constraints people are facing, and

We always get asked, "What can I *personally* do to help address climate change?"
Sadly, there hasn't been a very good answer to this question. Previous guides often treated people as monoliths, giving them a one-size-fits-all answer.
But that's changed now. Enter SHIFT.

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour!
We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face.

🪧New Preprint led by @saschakuhn.bsky.social on the connection between climate policy support and macro- (country-level) variation in e.g., economic freedom, per capita emissions, income inequality, and climate vulnerability, building on data from the Many Labs Climate Project!
🧵New preprint out:
How do macro-level structures shape public acceptance of climate policies?
We explore this question using the ICPC #ManyLabs data across 63 countries.
Beyond individual beliefs, how do structural conditions like inequality, fossil dependence, or neoliberalism shape support?
