This reading list is associated with the 17th Pathways Forum called « Sustainable Choices Through a Behavioral Insights Lens: Challenges, Ethics, and Opportunities ». It featured presentations and discussions with Kristian Nielsen, Mariam Chammat, and Britt Titus. In this forum, we explored the ethical considerations, limitations and possibilities involved in applying behavioral insights and solutions to policy-making. The discussion focused on how behavioral science can shape individual consumer behavior but also drive systemic change. We also discussed how the fields insights and contributions can vary across different regions and policy domains. By integrating behavioral insights into decision-making, policymakers can better design interventions or policies that lead to meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
This list includes references about the ethical considerations of using behavioral interventions in policy. Additionally, this collection features perspectives from experts in various fields, who have successfully incorporated behavioral insights into their work, offering practical examples of their impact across different regions and sectors.

ABOUT THE PATHWAYS FORUM.
The Pathways Forum is a bi-monthly online event where researchers from diverse disciplines who engage, or want to engage, with societal actors in processes of adaptive learning to design, implement, and evaluate pathways to sustainability get a chance to reflect on concepts and theories of change, and discuss the practical implications of sustainability science and transdisciplinarity for research practices. Through this webinar series, the Pathways Initiative aims to develop and support agenda-setting, synthesis and capacity building around pathways for sustainability.
