Cutting emissions in half by 2030 requires all hands on deck! Over the past 16 years, the BECC community has applied behavioral research and practice to foster individual and organizational change. We are back in person for the 2022 conference, ready to discuss behavioral solutions that engage all voices and ensure equity and inclusivity.

BECC invites you to present your work and learn from others. How can we encourage behavior change that reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions? How should we evaluate behavior-change programs? Why do individuals and groups change, and how can we make these transitions in fair and equitable ways? These questions will guide our 2022 conference. BECC participants and presenters represent a variety of backgrounds and communities: research, academia, business, utilities, government, and the nonprofit sector. All come together to learn and network at this unique conference

Review: Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of experts. Authors will be notified of acceptance in early summer 2022. Priority will be given to new work with original findings and work related to the conference theme.
