The past few years have been characterised by the climate crisis. Extreme weather events are increasing, particularly in the global south. It is slowly becoming apparent that we need large-scale behavioural change to mitigate this crisis. Fires, floods, hurricanes and climate related health issues require as dramatic a response as we are affording the current health crisis. For now, however, many do not view climate change with the same urgency as COVID-19. In this environment, how do we persuade people to take corrective action? We explore how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) like reducing energy use in the home, using identity theory.
