Topic:

Policy sequencing - in a complex dynamic system combinations of interventions are needed to first destabilize the system and then tip it over (similar to what happened with the ‘Zwarte Piet’transition). We’ll also invite some externe change makers (from companies, ministries, etc).

Bio:

Sara Constantino is an assistant professor at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability in the Department of Environmental Social Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding the interplay between individual, collective, institutional and ecological factors, including how they shape preferences, decisions, experiences and resilience to extreme events or shocks. In recent and ongoing studies, she is looking at the role of polarization, social norms and governance in stimulating or stifling climate action, including both adaptation and mitigation, and what conditions lead groups mobilize to shape policy and other outcomes. She also works on the impacts and politics of guaranteed income and other cash transfer programs.
