Sustainable development, the Spillover Effect, and reducing rubbish.
In this edition of the BehaviourWorks Australia broadcast we dive into the MSDI Annual Report, how the ‘Spillover Effect’ can bring about real change, measuring waste avoidance, how behavioural science is putting the ‘human’ in humanitarian, helping with food waste and exploring risky-crop plantation in Vietnam.
The MSDI Annual Report is up, out and online
The Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI) Annual Report is out! We share how we’re making a sustainable difference here, in Australia, and around the world when it comes to climate action, sustainable cities and health, circular economy, and inclusive prosperity.
Pocket Change: The Spillover Effect
‘Spillover’ refers to how some behaviours can lead, or spillover, to others. Can one positive spillover lead to others - can buying a Keep Cup lead to buying an electric vehicle? Dr Sarah Kneebone explains the science behind this effect in this month’s episode of Pocket Change.
Less garbage in, less garbage out
Australia needs to adopt some serious garbage measures to reduce the total amount of waste we each produce by 10% per person before 2030. In our research for the national waste policy we identified core waste prevention activities that will propel the country towards achieving that goal.
This month we have also been exploring and talking about:
Toolbox Series
Practical short-courses designed to support skills development in the application of behavioural science.
Courses
Full length accredited and unaccredited courses that deep dive into multiple areas of behavioural science over several weeks.
