2012 Behavior Change for a Sustainable World Conference

Plan to be part of this seminal gathering on how basic principles of behavior change can help in the fight to preserve our environment. As world-famous climatologist Lonnie Thompson noted in his paper in The Behavior Analyst, there is currently no engineering fix for climate change. For now, the only thing we can do is change human behavior.

The program will feature prominent figures in behavior analysis, environmental organizations, business and government. Invited addresses and panels, research and project posters, and interactive brainstorming sessions will give conference attendees a unique opportunity to interact with people with diverse backgrounds who are interested in working on one of the greatest challenges to face civilization since the last Ice Age.

In addition to invited presentations by distinguished scholars, attendees will have the opportunity to review current research at a poster session. Questions regarding the sustainability conference should be directed to the Association for Behavior Analysis International office by calling 269-492-9310 or e-mailing: convention@abainternational.org.

Conference attendees can choose from a number of tours of sustainability research and development programs including the Byrd Polar Research Center, Center for Automotive Research, the Zero Waste Project at Ohio Stadium and Blue Rock Station.
