"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin

The Carbon Tax which comes into force on 1 July 2012 will surely drive incentives for increased energy efficiency in Australia. But how far will it really help transform consumer and business behaviours in energy use?

Like so many other areas in sustainability, understanding what motivates sustainable behaviour and how to implement effective and sustained change projects is an issue facing organisations across all sectors of government, business and community work.

Now in its 3rd year, the Behaviour Change for Sustainability Congress brings together a unique and diverse group of corporate and community leaders, policymakers, psychologists, social scientists, program implementers, and organisational experts to to share and develop their expertise and understanding of individual and organisational sustainable behaviour change.

The 2012 program focuses on behaviour change in practice. Real world case studies will offer participants a true flavour of what works and what doesn't directly from practitioners working in this field.

By sharing knowledge and stories and adopting a collaborative approach, we hope that participants will leave with a better strategic relationship, and greater shared understanding of behaviour change for sustainability, further learning and implementation.

Key Themes

• How to reach past the converted
• Testing practical applications of behaviour change - What has worked / what hasn't
• Applying effective communication tools and strategy
• Developing insight into the psychology of change
• Evaluation - what is best practice and what can we learn?  
• The latest tools, methods, research approaches to behaviour change

Congress Format

Based on extensive feedback from past attendees, the Congress will combine presentations and structured discussion sessions, supported by web-based information, to support participants in further learning and implementation.
