COP30 is where global decisions meet human behavior. I'm excited to see my research come to life: how behavioral theories are tested against the realities of politics, economics, and culture in real time. I'm equally inspired by the chance to meet grassroots organizations from across the world who are developing community-centered solutions putting people at the heart of climate action, something that often gets ignored in international climate policies. For someone working at the intersection of behavior and environmental issues, it feels both deeply relevant and inspiring.
