The research group combines decision psychology with climate and sustainability research. We work closely with practitioners and international colleagues from other disciplines, such as climate research, meteorology, economics and engineering.

On the one hand, we research risk perception and communication. This includes what differentiates people in their risk perception, as well as how users understand different communication formats for climate and environmental risks and associated uncertainty.
Second, we look at mechanisms of climate-related (everyday) decision-making, especially the simple rules of thumb that people often use to deal with an overabundance of information, such as on climate change.
Our findings help people make informed decisions about sustainability and adapt effectively to challenges such as climate change.
