Behaviour Change for Health, Environment and Safer Communities Across environment and sustainability, speakers will explore how households navigate the competing pressures of overheating risk and rising energy costs. Drawing on longitudinal research, the webinar will highlight how climate adaptation and mitigation behaviours interact over time, and what this means for effective policy design and public engagement. In health and wellbeing, the focus turns to innovative approaches for harmonising behavioural data on childhood obesity, self-harm and suicidal ideation across the UK’s nations—informing better-targeted, evidence-based interventions. The session will also describe ongoing research on resilient communities, including community-led strategies to reduce speeding and emerging work to protect children from online harms. The data and technology theme will demonstrate how combining ontologies with interpretable machine learning can be used to evaluate large-scale national programmes, such as Swap to Stop.Speakers include: Vera Buss, UCLShaun Helman, TRLGraham Moore, Cardiff UniversityDavid Shipworth, UCL.The session will be chaired by Linda Bauld, BR-UK Co-Director, and will include a Q & A session. A second webinar entitled "Building Behavioural Research Capacity, Methods and Impact" outlining further BR-UK plans in this second phase of our programme of work will follow on March 2nd at 11am. Feb 16 2026 13.00 - 14.00 Behaviour Change for Health, Environment and Safer Communities This webinar is the first of two marking the launch of the next phase of BR-UK research, outlining how behavioural science is being mobilised to help inform approaches to addressing some of the most urgent challenges facing the UK in health, environment and community safety.
