In case you did not have the opportunity, you can now watch the IAAP Webinar on: The Role of Behavior Change in Addressing Plastic Pollution
Presented by Prof. Sabine Pahl and moderated by Prof. Terry Hartig, Division 4, Environmental Psychology.

The webinar reviews social and behavioural science approaches that can inform interventions to change awareness and behaviour.
