Imagining and Shaping Climate-Change-Sensitive Behaviors

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance is delighted to invite you to this lunchtime seminar.

Abstract

The seminar aims at framing the issue of motivation, with specific reference to patterns of action that are oriented at enforcing climate-change-sensitive behaviours. More specifically, the seminar will focus on some of the main psychological, ethical and social obstacles that limit (up to blocking) individual and inter-individual motivation to adopt appropriate behaviours referred to the climate-chance sensitivity domain.

The seminar will list features and modalities, together with collateral motivational blocks of each of such obstacles, starting to propose, for each of them, a scheme of suggestions for countering and overcoming it, with specific reference to the individual, inter-individual and collective form of agency.

The interdisciplinary framework constitutes a point of reference for the proposals that will be preliminary outlined over the seminar in terms of action-research points, with the aim of sharing the further results rising from the subsequent research activity within the second public seminar belonging to the CLIMBING project and scheduled for the next December 2025.

This seminar is organized within the research Project: “Bridging the Motivation Gap in Adopting Climate-Change-Sensitive Behaviours” (CLIM-BING) – FDEF Research Excellence Funding Scheme
