Encouraging Small Actions to Help the Planet

The climate is changing. One key part of the solution is for individuals to adopt proenvironmental actions in their daily lives. Messaging campaigns can help bridge the gap between idea and action—but how?

This white paper draws from behavior change theories, mechanisms of behavior change, and current consumer trends to learn how to craft messaging campaigns that inform and inspire individuals, so that we can all move toward environmentally responsible behaviors.

Key Takeaways

1

Environmentally Conscious Behavior Trends

Most people care about climate change, as demonstrated by consumer behavior like increased interest in plant-based diets or electric cars, or interest in water, food, and energy waste reduction. We examine individual proenvironmental behaviors and nationwide trends.

2

Theoretical Frameworks to Guide Proenvironmental Messaging

We discuss several theoretical frameworks and behavior change mechanisms to understand what drives people toward proenvironmental behavior.

3

Mechanisms for Behavior Change

We discuss behavior change marketing as a tool to communicate policies and inform the public about the impacts of their actions.

4

Recommendations for Action

We focus on how to craft these campaigns: how to reach individuals at multiple phases of the behavior change funnel, and the importance of speaking to communities in ways that resonate with them.
