The Behavior, Energy & Climate Change Conference (BECC) is the premier international conference focused on understanding human behavior and decision making and using that knowledge to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future. Since 2007, BECC has fostered an understanding of individual and organizational behavior and decision-making related to energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and sustainability.
BECC 2020 was built on the overwhelming success of previous BECC conferences, at which 500+ participants discussed innovative policy and program strategies, shared important research findings, and engaged in building dynamic new networks and collaborations.
The BECC Conference was convened by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE) within the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society at U.C. Berkeley, and the Environmental and Energy Policy Analysis Center (SEEPAC) at Stanford University.
This virtual event brought together social and behavioral science researchers, regulators and policymakers, utility staff responsible for programs, local, state, and federal agency personnel, consultants, NGOs, and foundations, and energy efficiency professionals.
