Hoffman contributes to National Academies book on climate change
Nov. 24, 2010
Andrew Hoffman, associate director of the Erb Institute and SNRE professor, participated in a series of workshops addressing the behavioral and social science aspects of global climate change. The recently published book Facilitating Climate Change Responses documents the information presented in the workshop presentations and discussions. This material illustrates some of the ways the behavioral and social sciences can contribute to the new era of climate research. Professor Hoffman delivered the introductory comments and moderated a panel discussion for the session on the greening of business, which is covered in Chapter 4.
Organized by the National Research Council with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the workshops showcased some of the contributions that these sciences have already made to the climate change discussion and what researchers in those fields can advance with future efforts. Below is a link to the book online.
The book can also be purchased from the National Academies Press.
