Description
The Last Mile: Overcoming Psychological Barriers to Climate Action: We have the technology. We have the knowledge. We have the resources. So why is climate action not happening at the scale and speed needed? The final hurdle often isn't engineering or policy—it's human psychology. In this thought-provoking keynote, Dr. Gerdien de Vries, a behavioural scientist at TU Delft, unpacks the "dragons of inaction"—the psychological barriers that prevent people from turning awareness and intention into meaningful action. Why do we hesitate, delay, or rationalize inaction, even when we know what is at stake? How can we overcome these internal roadblocks to drive real change? Through insightful research and practical strategies, this session will explore the complex interplay between motivation, perception, and behaviour—helping individuals, organizations, and policymakers bridge the last mile from knowledge to action| Period | 25 Sept 2025 |
