Behavioural Science at FAO
Since the launch of the UN Secretary General’s Guidance Note last July (https://tinyurl.com/SecGenBeSci), the Chief Scientist Stream and the Office of Innovation (OIN) have been privileged to work with 100+ colleagues across the house to explore how to leverage behavioural science as an exciting new discipline in FAO.
Building on this shared momentum, we are excited to host an event for all interested parties that will highlight how the community is moving from exploration to action, with several groups applying behavioural science in their work as well as three flagship initiatives planned at corporate level for 2022.
You won’t want to miss this end-of-year event, featuring guest speakers, case studies and a discussion with the Chief Scientist.
