Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

This morning I walked across the fresh snow with a gas cylinder in my arms, containing 6kg of CO2. I took it across the unspoiled snow field of the Jakobshavns fiord until I found what, to my eyes, was a wonderful place. From a little hill I could see massive icebergs impassably floating by, some of them breaking up from time to time with a loud bang. The sea below was deep grey, which made the icebergs stand up in all their beauty and fragility. The sky was a merge of pale grey and cerulean with a yellow glow just behind the skyline. Lichen and small berry plants could be felt under the powdery snow as I walked by.
I though: this is perfect!
I walked to the top of the small hill, I put the cylinder down, got on my knees and opened the valve. The CO2.came out violently, freezing the air around the nozzle and producing an unpleasant whistle. When I lowered the cylinder towards the ground, the snow blow off all around me under the pressure of the air jet, almost to signify the melting of the Arctic ice shelf because of the Carbon emissions generated somewhere else.
Reading this you might think I am an evil horrible woman. I would like to reassure you, I am not! I haven't done anything bad. because I have offset the carbon emissions generated by the CO2 cylinder, through an online Gold Standard Carbon Offsetting scheme! Cool no? This is great stuff. one can go about consciously polluting the world, wasting energy, producing tonnes of waste and abusing natural resources without feeling guilty at all!! One can simply pay somebody to compensate for his/her 'bad' actions somewhere else, and become Carbon Neutral!
Don't you think this is great?
Do you?
Personally I think it is appalling.
A lot has to be done before we can revert to Carbon offsetting as an effective mechanism to reduce global Carbon emissions.
Fundamental changes in societal behaviour are necessary to reduce our environmental impact, looking at the way we live, travel, eat, consume, go on holiday and warm our homes. Only after we have significantly reduced our environmental impact to the minimum possible, only then Carbon offsetting can start to be used efficiently.
With my performance I am seeking to throw a serious comment on the contemporary practice of Carbon Offsetting as a mean of green washing conscience and excusing bad behaviour. I am also seeking to provoke debate on why society is so resistant to change and how a collective behavioural shift could be achieved.
The cost of Carbon is still too low to drive change.
Change must come from within.

Behavioural guidelines for the Laem Phrom Thep beach, Phuket at the Phromthem Cape. This was the next stop on the half day tour of Phuket. There were three viewpoints in all, and this was the final one. (see previous pictures earlier in this album for pictures of the others). With its elevated location and few small islands nearby, the Promthep Cape is considered one of the prime sunset viewing spots in Phuket. Some cynics feel that people watching there is more entertaining, with most people texting and playing with their cellphones while waiting for sunset. The Laem Phrom Thep beach is actually at sea level (naturally!)- this sign and viewpoint is on top of a hill at the location. (Phuket, Thailand, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
Compiling studymaterial at work. "Exponering" means exposure in swedish...probably not the kind of exposure most of the people here think of first though. ;)

If dogs can be trained to drive cars, it also means human behaviour can be changed. #transportchoice
Check out the You Tube clip for some background. www.youtube.com/user/TheDrivingDogs
The whole campaign is bloody brilliant. Trust the motor car industry to have all the best ideas.
I got a whole sequence of these little cuttlefish mating and feeding - even the passing of the sperm packet...........

Today we (we being, fellow Flickr contacts) all met up for a quick stroll around the park and along the river bank into Burnham for some ball play on the beach with our jolly canine friends...We do have a laugh!
I look at these shots and can't stop smiling. The banter on and offline is always SO good and our friendships all started with a love of nature, dogs and cameras united by the big world web..
Meeting face to face is called..'Going Primitive' in Urban slang...and I like it a lot...in fact, I'd go as far as saying...
I lub it, I do!
