One week ago today, I successfully defended my PhD thesis! I appreciate the stimulating discourse with the opposition, which allowed me to elaborate on how information, expectations, and group dynamics shape our decisions about climate action.

🌳💬Ann-Kathrin Kößler and @stangenberg.bsky.social (Leibniz University Hannover) analyze key stakeholders and their interests in resilient forests in Lower Saxony. Using interviews, workshops, and experiments, they develop evidence-based strategies to strengthen societal support and cooperation.

🌿Today marks the start of the first Green Nudges in Agriculture & Forestry Conference in Brussels Exploring how behavioral science can support the Green Deal & CAP27 through real action in agri & forestry🌱 🤝Thanks to all participants! #GreenNudges #PRUDENT #EESCPartnership #EuProjects

We kicked-off our climate future lab #FoResLab this month! In 13 subprojects, we will investigate how forests can be made resilient to climate change under current and future conditions. It was great getting to know each other at the meeting and discussing the next steps.

This month, I started my new position as Postdoctoral Researcher at Leibniz University Hannover!

🌻 DON’T WAIT ON THE WORLD TO CHANGE 🤝 In our new working paper, @asoetevent.bsky.social and I show that hoping for future climate tech hinders collective action now. 📄: drive.google.com/file/d/1gNyt...
