Climate change is not only a technical and policy challenge but also a human and social challenge. Effective climate action requires understanding human behaviour, motivations, biases, and societal dynamics. This domain equips learners with insights from climate psychology, behavioural economics, and social science to design interventions, campaigns, and policies that accelerate green transitions. Learners develop skills to analyse behavioural drivers of energy use, consumption patterns, sustainable mobility, and adaptation practices, applying behavioural nudges, social marketing, and decision-support tools to influence individual, organizational, and community actions toward sustainability.
