*Abstract:*
“When policy-makers think about how to get people to live more
sustainable lives, they generally reach for the 'economic incentives'
section of the policy toolbox. There is no doubt that such incentives
can work, and work quickly. Some of the evidence for this will be
reviewed. Professor Dobson will then draw a distinction between
behaviour and attitudes, and suggest that economic incentives are better
at changing the former than shifting the latter. He will argue that
long-term commitment to sustainable development requires attitude- as
well as behaviour-change. How might this be brought about? He will
suggest that 'environmental citizenship' can fill the gap: describing
what it is, and discussing ways it might be encouraged, particularly in
the context of secondary school Citizenship teaching.”
The */Sustainable Development and Quality of Life/* lectures are
intended to provide a wider audience for innovative and challenging
thinking from current research relevant to sustainable development.
Attendance is free, but places must be strictly reserved in advance (see
