The Earth’s climate is in crisis, and we must act now. During #COP27, world leaders are discussing how to address the challenges posed by #climatechange. A new Focus issue by @NatureHumBehav and @NatureClimate highlights the role of human behaviour in adaptation & mitigation. 🧵 Image
In 12 original pieces, our authors discuss some of the aspects that are central for mitigation of and adaptation to #climatechange. We have also curated a collection of research articles from across @NaturePortfolio: nature.com/collections/ic…
Our two editorials offer an introduction and an overview of all pieces.

Human behaviour is complex and multidimensional. Beckage et al look at existing social #climatemodels (SCMs) and make recommendations on how to better embed human behaviour in their forecasting. @ClimateFran

Some people remain skeptical of climate change. In a Review, Matthew Hornsey and @STWorg look at the psychological origins of such #climateskepticism, as well as the role of think tanks and political affiliation.

Climate mitigation requires #behaviourchange. To help practitioners design targeted interventions. @AnneValkengoed et al introduce a classification system that links different interventions to the determinants of individual environmental behaviour.

Ideally, interventions are scalable and result in system-level change. In a Comment, @mirjam_jenny and @CorneliaBetsch discuss crucial structures, such as data observatories, for the collection of reliable large-scale data.

Climate change is increasingly affecting human well-being and mental health. Our Focus includes two reviews on this topic. @NeilAdger and colleagues discuss direct and indirect pathways by which climate change affects well-being. @DrStaceyHeath

Adopting a clinical perspective, @FionaCharlson et al review the literature on the clinical implications of climate change and provide practical suggestions for #mentalhealth practitioners. @CrandonTara

How can insights from behavioural science inform #policymaking? We have three Comments in @NatureClimate addressing this question. One Comment from Katherine Wagner looks at designing insurance for climate change.

In another Comment, @c_a_gravert addresses the question of how we can make #carbon taxes more effective through green #nudging.

Finally, Sanjith Gopalakrishnan looks at the complexity of supply chain #emissions (scope 3) when assessing corporate #carbonemissions.

While being a minor contributor to global warming, the #GlobalSouth has to bear many of the consequences. @charlesogunbode shows us that #climatejustice is social justice in the Global South.

nature.com/articles/s4156…
As we are running out of time to keep global warming to a minimum, #climateaction is what is needed. In a Q&A, @LicypriyaK, a young #climateactivist, shares her story and how she hopes to raise the voices of children in the fight against climate change.

How can academics become active in the fight against climate change? In a Q&A, @w_knorr, co-founder of @faculty_future, describes his motivations to leave #academia and offers advice on how academics can create impact.
