7/7 What this looks like in practice: map the system (actors + determinants + feedback loops), identify policy levers, and design for virtuous cyclesβe.g., better guidance + trust + quality/safety confidence β higher demand for redistributed food β more redistribution β more momentum.
I argue we must move beyond isolated βnudges.β Food waste/redistribution behaviours emerge from interacting incentives, regulations, infrastructure, norms, and perceptions. At the Competence Centre on Behavioural Insights (CCBI), we use a behavioural systems lens across the policy cycle.
My chapter contribution πͺπΊπ₯: Applying behavioural systems analysis to help the EU reach legally binding food waste targetsβreducing per-capita food waste at retail + consumption by 30% by 2030 (vs 2020). These targets are behavioural at their core.
Key findings (in one breath): resilience isnβt just awareness or infrastructure. Itβs also aspiration, affordability, habit, equity, Indigenous knowledge, and the social structures that make some choices easyβand others impossible.
It's a collection of essays + case studies + applied behavioural research across Africa, Europe, and Asiaβgrounded in fieldwork with farmers, extension agents, communities, and practitioners working in food systems, insurance, nutrition & policy.
Core idea: climate outcomes are the sum of everyday decisions shaped by trust, norms, risk perception, identity, and institutions. The book asks why βclimate-smartβ solutions stallβand how behavioural + systems thinking can unblock adoption.
ππ New book out: βClimate change is a human problem: Finding the voices of climate resilienceβ (eds. Juhi Jain & Rahab Kariuki). It reframes climate resilience around behaviour, lived experience, and social systemsβnot just tech & policy. doi.org/10.62372/RLA...
Wdym "over"? Do Americans think they can sit this out /w almost 50 percent of Americans electing this clown? Trump doesn't exist in a vacuum. Society has a role to play. Those actively supporting this government & those that are making memes & trying to make money "until it's over" are the problem.
"Thatβs fine, Iβm not mad at you."

Be prepared for a wave of #disinformation coming from the US, pillar of the free world, icon of democracy, bringer of peace!
At the EU Policy Lab, we concluded a long journey of co-design, experimentation, and engagement that helped shape proposals for EU-wide harmonised waste sorting labels. The process supports the implementation of new EU Regulation. Find out more here: policy-lab.ec.europa.eu/news/co-crea...

And Trump was mad at Epstein because he stole from HIM, not because of what happened to the victim.
Not cowardice. Hopes for profit.
βOut of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,β

How can US citizens not be ashamed?
We live in a timeline where a US president talks like this: "I know better than anybody whatβs good for the Market, and whatβs good for the USA. If it werenβt for me, the Market wouldnβt be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have Crashed!... People donβt explain to me, I explain to them!"
Surpriiiiise...
They are not even trying any more.
Part of the motivation for creating Liberia was to relocate freed African Americans outside of the United States, particularly by white Americans who did not want them integrated into U.S. society.
Those he cannot bully or "commie scare" out of the way is lured with money and prestige - sufficient in the US for most - even scientists. Every scientists not directly and actively exposing and protesting this is complicit.
If this succeeds, US science will loose credibility for decades.
