Behaviour change theory for environmental changemakers
Understand the barriers and drivers to change so you can be more impactful in your environmental work
In your personal or professional life are you focused on:
- Environmental issues
- The 3 P’s of sustainability
- Waste reduction
- Carbon reduction and the climate crisis
As an environmental advocate, you’re passionate about your cause, and you know that you need other people to buy-in, share your passion and take action!
If you overwhelm people with stats, facts and consequences, they bury their head in the sand – because the truth can be scary.
And trying to get your message out past the echo-chamber is essential – but non-environmentalists don’t seem to care, and it can be hard to reach them.
Understanding Behaviour Change principles can help you:
- Understand the barriers to change
- Work with the levers that can drive change
- Reach people outside your echo chamber
- Create and run inspiring campaigns that lead to meaningful, widespread change

Aha moments: the importance of positive messages and encouraging right behaviours by reducing friction.”
Greg Cooper, Front of Mind Coaching
I think it’s been really interesting to get the reminder that other people won’t be persuaded by thinking ‘I need to do this for the planet’ and to relate it to their benefits.
Kathryn Cook, Change Communications Manager, LSBU
It was a great presentation. I liked the presentation of the theories backed up with concrete examples relevant to sustainability. With so much content, I’ll definitely be going back through the slides to answer the questions you asked
