Behavioural Science at the UN - Experiences & Lessons Learnt to Date

This introductory session will explore behavioural science and how it can be applied to the work of the UN, including a discussion of case studies from across the UN system. It will introduce new audiences to key behavioural science concepts, such as nudges and boosts, choice architecture, framing, and social norms. The session will also launch the UN Behavioural Science Report, which showcases behavioural science applications and aspirations from 25 UN Entities and discusses key success factors for piloting, scaling and mainstreaming behavioural science.
