RRF conference - Influencing Resourceful Behaviours

 

The Resource Recovery Forum is to hold a conference to examine the latest thinking and research in influencing resourceful behaviours, and to relate this to future horizons for the waste and resources sector. The conference will gather experts in the key aspects of understanding and influencing our values, attitudes and behaviours.

Topics include:

• WRAP’s latest thinking on food waste behaviours
• Insights from Defra’s Centre of Expertise on Influencing Behaviour
• Other expert speakers on recycling rewards, attitudes and behaviours around bulky waste reuse, up-cycling and much more.....

 

The event is designed and led by consultants Brook Lyndhurst, the Open University and Waste Watch. It has the active support of Sita UK and is being developed in collaboration with the Environmental Sustainability KTN. The outline planned for the day is as follows:

• the opening session will set the context for the day through a keynote presentation: Changing minds, changing behaviour. This will identify the many reasons we think and act in the way we do, and what tools or approaches can be used to influence behaviours.
• this will be followed by a session Where have we got to now? drawing on lessons from the last decade. This will explore what the waste and resources sector might learn recent behaviour change research, other approaches towards social change and draw from angles likely to be new to many (such as ethnographic research)
• the afternoon session New horizons will explore the key actions we should be taking in the future to influence more resourceful behaviours? will be a forward-looking, highly interactive debate of future horizons for behaviour and social change.
