The Behavior, Energy and Climate Change (BECC) Conference 2012 - now in its sixth year - is the premier event focused on understanding individual and organizational behavior and decision-making in the realms of energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and sustainability. BECC 2012 will build on the overwhelming success of previous BECC conferences, at which more than 650 participants discussed innovative policy and program strategies, shared important research findings, and engaged in building dynamic new networks and collaborations.

Ultimately, we seek to answer the question, how can we most effectively encourage low-carbon behavior?

No single field encompasses all facets of behavior change, so BECC brings together a wide range of top academics, practitioners and policy-makers to provide the latest and most relevant behavioral research findings, best practices and measured results.
