Thought paper on using behavioural psychology to provide insights into decision-making under uncertainty.

Under the Climate Change Adaptation Assessments, Thought Leadership, and Learning (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
