This session will provide an overview of the methods and theories he uses in his research, offering attendees a deeper understanding of how values, beliefs, and personal norms drive pro-environmental action. By exploring these perspectives, participants will gain insights into behavioural change and potential avenues for collaboration in sustainability research and practice.
