  • Who is responsible for taking climate action?
    Oct 21 2024

    Our guest this episode is PhD candidate Xinran Wang, and the topic this week is the role of different parts of society in taking responsibility for climate change.


    Why do group norms matter when it comes to pro-environmental behavior? Why might certain societal actors (like government or business)

    underestimate their own capacity to make meaningful change? How can we explain the difference between how people see their own roles as individuals versus what we think about the role of groups and collective action?
