Thought Paper on Using Behavioural Psychology to Provide Insights into Decision-Making under Uncertainty

Under the ATLAS project, CSAG undertook an assessment of the behavioural psychology literature to review concepts of relevance for use in decision-making under extreme uncertainty.  Relevant behavioural psychology theories/heuristics/biases were then applied during user engagement activities to assess the impact on uptake of different formats and framings of uncertain climate information messages.  The end result was a thought paper enhancing the knowledge base for climate services.
