BECC 2022 Hybrid Options

BECC 2022 will be an in-person conference in Washington, DC. However, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by continuing to offer a virtual option for some conference content to be available to participants who cannot (or would prefer not) attend in person. This aspect of the conference is currently being developed and will continue to evolve as the dangers of Covid-19 shift and change. Stay tuned!

BECC’s Mission

Since 2007, the Behavior Energy and Climate Change conference brings together social scientists, practitioners, utilities, academics, governments, businesses, and non-profits to share and disseminate best practices and research to encourage behavior change for energy and carbon reduction. Come present your work and learn from others about innovative methods, practices and technologies, how to evaluate these programs, understand why individuals and groups change, and make these transitions in fair and equitable ways.
