Policy Workshop 2

Green Nudges for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in Agriculture & Forestry

27th November, 9.45 - 13.15 CET

The second ForestAgriGreenNudge Policy Workshop will build on the outcomes of previous project activities to explore how behavioural approaches can support climate change mitigation and adaptation in the agricultural and forestry sectors. Through case studies and policy dialogue, the workshop will showcase practical experiences of climate-related green nudges, discuss the main drivers and barriers to their implementation, and examine how behavioural insights can complement existing climate and sustainability policies.

A central component of the workshop will be an interactive policy session, where participants will work together to identify priority policy areas, discuss implementation challenges, and explore concrete opportunities for integrating behavioural insights into agricultural and forestry policies across different national and regional contexts. The outcomes will contribute to the refinement of the project’s policy recommendations.

Programme Highlights

Introduction to the session

Green Nudges in Action: Case studies from forestry and agriculture demonstrating practical applications of climate-related green nudges.

Policy Round Table: Insights and short statements from national network members, followed by Q&A.

Collaborative Session: Breakout discussions to identify priority policy areas, discuss implementation challenges, and explore concrete opportunities for integrating behavioural insights into agricultural and forestry policies across different national and regional contexts.

Conclusions and Next Steps: Synthesis of key messages and recommendations for the Policy Forum.
