Description
Every year, world leaders convene at the UN Climate Change Conference to discuss the urgency of climate change and the need for equitable, people-centred solutions. Could Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) have the chops to tackle such a massive challenge? Can SBC shed some light on the age-old debate on individual change versus system change to reduce emissions?  In this episode, Qali speaks with experts to understand what SBC can tell us about how to navigate an issue that affects us all, but certainly not in the same ways.  Guests (in order of appearance) Mónica Wills-Silva, Director of International Programmes EMEA at the Behavioural Insights TeamKash Ramli, Senior Advisor for Behavioral Science at UNICEFXaher Gul, Public Health Physician and Development PractitionerJon Bonifacio, Environmental Activist and National Coordinator of Kalikasan People's Network for the EnvironmentGeorgina Avlonitis, Urban Ecologist and Programme Manager at UNEPResources (in order of mention) Climate Change Fact sheet (WHO)António Guterres’s Speech at COP27How to build a Net Zero societyWilliam Ruto’s Speech at COP28Kalikasan People's Network for the EnvironmentThe views and opinions expressed by the contributors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of UNICEF or any entities they represent.
