Why haven’t we solved the sustainability problem yet? In “Oh, behave!” students will explore one facet of environmental policymaking—the application of behavioural economics (BE) targeting human consumption patterns— with scarcity thrown into the mix to understand the complexity of creating sustainable, effective policies. Students will gain critical thinking skills from contrasting between various heuristics and their unique mechanisms; introspectively examine their own behaviours and biases; and determine the best BE principle to use in an environmental situation. A mandatory overnight camping trip will prompt students to examine their own resource consumption behaviours and apply concepts learnt.
