Featuring the CAU: TEDxLondon talk

"Why we need to change how we talk about climate change"

In his latest TEDx talk, Dr Kris De Meyer explores why high levels of public concern for climate change has not translated into climate action.

Using the Unit's insights from psychology and social sciences, the talk discusses how taking action can drive our beliefs through a positive feedback loop of self-persuasion. It also showcases how action-based climate communication can provide positive examples that inspire action in others.

Kris's talk gives examples of how the CAU works to help unlock climate action in professional commuities that are finding the task challenging.
