On 21-23 April 2021, the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2) is hosting an online event - "BEHAVE 2020-2021 – 6th European Conference on Behaviour and Energy Efficiency".
BEHAVE 2020-2021 is the 6th version of the biannual European Energy Network event that focuses on the application of behavioural insights in energy efficiency. As an important conference for national energy agencies in Europe, BEHAVE provides a unique forum for policymakers, academia, industry and practitioners to share ideas and experiences in promoting effective solutions for energy efficiency improvements and climate mitigation.
BEHAVE 2020-2021 will include plenary sessions and parallel sessions. The conference will produce two publications:
- Conference proceedings will consist of accepted abstracts and be released during the conference;
- A special issue in the journal Energy Policy, which will consist of invited papers based on screening of the accepted abstracts.
Compared with previous years, the upcoming BEHAVE 2020-2021 will have more coverage on developing countries, more significant presence of participants outside Europe, the private sector as well as experience sharing from international development agencies and the United Nations on integrating behavioural economics in international development assistance projects to developing countries. Given the latest scientific and policy developments, BEHAVE 2020-2021 is also expected to contribute to the transition to a climate-neutral future.
