episode 9: Anja Kollmuss: Climate policy and individual action: two approaches, one climate emergency
Anja Kollmuss is a policy analyst and communications expert on climate mitigation policies, currently working for swisscleantech, a green industry association that lobbies for policies that enable a climate friendly economy. She has coordinated research projects at the intersection of energy, climate change, and sustainable development for over 20 years, and is an associate at the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).
This podcast focuses on Anja Kollmuss' 2002 literature review: 'Mind the Gap: Why do people act environmentally and what are the barriers to pro-environmental behavior?' The paper explores why having awareness and knowledge about climate change is not always enough for people to behave in a pro-environmental way.
