IPBC August 2022 News
Dear colleagues and friends,
As planned, we organized our first General Assembly in June, which presented the results of the activities carried out since our creation, put into perspective our (major) ambitions for the coming quarters, in particular the effective launch of the drafting of the 1st Main Report. .
All the points presented were validated unanimously.
We also organized the 1st Day of the Alliance for IPBC (GIECO) on June 10, which brought together around fifty face-to-face participants in Paris and around a hundred remotely.
Many expressed their desire to contribute to the development of the Alliance on the online questionnaire (see attached document, FR version).

IPBC January 2022 Newsletter
From the IPBC Board
Dear colleagues and friends,
Another Covid year has passed and 2022 might be yet another one but for us, it is the year we launch the process for our FIRST Main Report (MR-1)! The WG1 (scientists) will thus be very soon called upon to voice their intention relative to the report and other logistical issues. We will also have our next GENERAL ASSEMBLY, in April, aimed at officially launching the MR-1 process. In this newsletter, you will find news from our i) Alliance with private partners; ii) our contribution to different French national bodies and; iii) our new partnerships with several cities in France (WG3). Last but not least, we welcome several new scientific members to our WG1!
Looking forward to moving forward with you,

Dear colleagues and friends,
Our first report, in our ‘Informed Food for Thoughts’ collection was published with articles on the drivers of behavioral change and non change relative to the Covid situation, and its potential lessons for ecological transition. Beyond the interest of these articles, this exercise also allowed Stephane and us to better see how to orchestrate the organisation and production of such a report, knowing that the next ones aim to be more ambitious in terms of multidisciplinarity, scientific tone and size. Our aim is to produce a thematic report within the next two years. We will of course keep you posted and ask for your contributions on this in the following months! The report is in attached file. Thank you for spreading it as much as possible in your networks![….]

Waterloo’s Interdisciplinary Centre on Climate Change (IC3) is the IPBC’s institutional host in Canada. As the IPBC’s research program takes shape over the next several years, researchers and graduate students based at the University of Waterloo will have the opportunity to participate directly in the IPBC’s work. Waterloo’s IC3 is a natural fit for the Canadian chapter, with leading researchers in environmental issues and climate mitigation. With over 90 faculty members from more than 26 academic departments and several external organizations, IC3 supports Waterloo’s top researchers in both the social and natural sciences to respond effectively to climate change.
The Faculty of Psychology of the University of Warsaw supports the initiative to establish an interdisciplinary, International Panel for Behavior Change (IPBC. The aim of the panel is to develop and propose solutions that respond to global challenges related to environmental, climate and health threats.
