Promoting sustainable choices is essential for mitigating climate change, but individuals often face decision-making challenges and inertia when it comes to behaviour change. Default options and opt-out programs are effective behavioural strategies that capitalize on human tendencies to influence decision-making and drive sustainable actions. This article explores the concept of defaults and opt-out programs and highlights their role in encouraging sustainable behaviours and reducing carbon emissions.

This article explores the concepts of distance and temporal discounting and presents strategies to overcome these psychological barriers, fostering a sense of urgency and motivating behavior change for carbon emission reduction.

This article explores the concept of cognitive reframing and its application in promoting climate-conscious mindsets and behaviour change.

Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges of our time. Addressing this issue requires a deep understanding of the barriers that hinder effective action. This article explores the barriers to addressing climate change by drawing on the framework presented in Peter Singer's influential paper, "Famine, Affluence, and Morality." Singer's ethical argument, originally focused on addressing global poverty and humanitarian crises, provides valuable insights applicable to the challenges of climate change.

Moral dilemma research plays a crucial role in understanding human ethical decision-making and moral reasoning. However, current research predominantly relies on sacrificial moral dilemmas, which present hypothetical scenarios that involve causing harm to achieve a greater good. This think piece argues for the inclusion of climate change dilemmas in moral dilemma research to address the main issues associated with sacrificial moral dilemmas. By exploring climate change dilemmas, we can foster a more sobering, realistic, and contextually relevant understanding of moral decision-making.

Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues of our time, with far-reaching consequences for both present and future generations. As discussions surrounding climate change and its solutions intensify, it is crucial to examine the role of morality in shaping our collective response. This think piece delves into the tension between utilitarian choices that prioritize happiness and short-term gains over the long-term duty to protect the environment. By exploring this ethical dilemma, we can better understand the barriers to meaningful changes that would effectively address climate change.
