Societal Transformations in Models for Energy and Climate Policy: The Ambitious Next Step (2019, background): “Meta-analyses provide a good starting point.(90,91) As is often observed, though, evidence from social sciences usually comes from case studies that are very sparse for global and long-term coverage, segmented, and hard to harmonize as a”
How social norms are often a barrier to addressing climate change but can be part of the solution (2020, background): “Indeed, research has found that perceived descriptive and prescriptive norms shape people’s willingness to engage in adaptive behaviors such as purchasing flood insurance and preparing for wildfires (Lo, 2013; Howe et al., 2018; for a review, see Valkengoed & Steg, 2019).”
