We study how decisions and behaviors shape environmental outcomes, and how the environment shapes human behavior. Our work is policy relevant, and focuses on how perceptions, motivations, attitudes, decisions, and social norms shape the governing of our shared environment. Grounded in rigorous analysis, we generate insights that inform more sustainable, effective, and equitable governance of our environmental resources. By integrating the social and behavioral sciences and social-ecological systems frameworks we examine how governance and collective action can address the complex environmental challenges we face today.
