Description

The changemaker's guide to catalysing environmental behaviour change for a healthy future.

To tackle our urgent environmental problems and achieve positive, durable change, we must design solutions based directly on how people think, make decisions, and act.

From hotels that save water and money using simple signage, to energy suppliers that boost participation in renewable energy programs through mere enrolment form tweaks – shifting the behaviour of millions for the better is possible.

Based on decades of research into what drives behaviour change, Making Shift Happen provides a suite of powerful tools to transform the world. It features A to Z guidance on how to design a behaviour change initiative – from choosing the right audience and uncovering what drives their behaviour, to designing, prototyping, testing, and implementation.

Clear instructions and real-world examples empower you to apply hundreds of behavioural science solutions including:

Using social norms to spread positive environmental behaviours
Selecting and testing stories, metaphors, and values to frame information for each audience
Catalysing action by aligning your initiative with your audience's personal and social motivators
Breaking bad habits and building positive ones
Capturing your audience's attention and reducing barriers to action
Connecting people with nature and building empathy for the environment and its inhabitants.

Making Shift Happen is a must-have guide for practitioners in non-profits, governments, and businesses looking to design successful campaigns and initiatives that shift behaviours and mindsets toward positive environmental outcomes and a better future for all.
