>
> Open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
>
> In What We Think About When We Try Not to Think About Global Warming, Stoknes not only masterfully identifies the five main psychological barriers to climate action, but addresses them with five strategies for how to talk about global warming in a way that creates action and solutions, not further inaction and despair.

> Panel discussion: Nudging Our Way towards Energy Efficiency: Psychology, Behavior, and the Environment
> Woodrow Wilson Center, Washington DC | RSVP Here <http://app.streamsend.com/c/23711449/439/64YKPST/1hfo4h6b3g?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wilsoncenter.org%2Fevent%2Fnudging-our-way-towards-energy-efficiency-psychology-behavior-and-the-environment>
> Even as society seeks to improve overall energy efficiency, we make individual decisions every day that have a wasteful effect on our energy use, from driving rather than walking short distances to leaving our computers on when not in use. How do such habitual choices sabotage our better intentions? What does it take to change these habits?
>
> Please join the Woodrow Wilson Center at 12:30 PM on April 23, 2015, for a candid discussion about how psychology and behavioral economics can help us begin to address our most pressing energy and environmental challenges – and how this can potentially improve policy choices in government and beyond.
>
> The panel, moderated by Ruth Greenspan Bell, a Public Policy Scholar at the Wilson Center, will examine which sorts of strategies encourage energy efficiency, how they can best be implemented and how one branch of the military is looking at incorporating these strategies to improve operational reach. Event panelists include:
> Per Espen Stoknes, a psychologist and economist at the BI Norwegian Business School, will discuss how strategies rooted in human psychology might help address climate change
> Elke Weber of the Columbia University School of Business and the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions will discuss how these strategies can be applied across institutions and within policymaking
> Capt. James Goudreau, director of policy and partnerships in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, will discuss how these insights can help the Navy forge a culture of energy and water efficiency
> Presentations and discussion by the panelists will be followed by an opportunity for audience questions. This event is jointly sponsored by the Science and Technology Innovation Program and the Environmental Change and Security Program at the Wilson Center. Please feel free to bring a brown bag lunch. There is a cafeteria on the 6th Floor of the Wilson Center.
