A prosperous society needs a healthy planet. Nature underpins the global economy, enriches the lives of billions, and provides the conditions in which humanity can flourish. But human behaviour lies behind many of the threats to our natural environment.
We work with policy makers, NGOs and private partners to promote energy and water conservation, support sustainable lifestyle choices, protect biodiversity and tackle the illegal wildlife trade, and encourage clean growth and green business practices.

We need your help: submit your innovative examples of reducing carbon emissions using behavioural science 🌱
In October, a month before COP26, BIT will host an online event (building on past conferences) called Behavioural LENZ (Lessons for the Environment and Net Zero). The event will bring together behavioural scientists, like Richard Thaler and Lucia Reisch, to discuss how the field can support reducing global carbon emissions. In one session, we will showcase examples from around the world (the UK only accounts for 1.1% of global emissions after all). Whether you’re an entrepreneur, student, consultant, civil servant, or from any other walk of life, it’s an opportunity to showcase your best ideas for using behavioural science to save the planet.
