Imagine a low-carbon future with healthy air quality, fewer climate disasters, and affordable and resilient energy. How do we get there? The focus of this year’s BECC conference is on Energizing a Future for All—what are the ideas, policies, and methods of changing behavior towards a clean energy future? Since 2007, the BECC community has applied behavioral research and practice to foster individual and organizational change. Our biennial conference takes place in Sacramento, CA, where we gather to collaborate and share innovative behavioral solutions. 

BECC invites you to share your work and learn from others. How can we continue to strategize ways to change behavior that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions? How do we manage the shift in both individual and organizational behavioral change? How do these deliberate disruptions affect how we evaluate behavior-change programs? How can we drive positive transitions for all? These questions will guide our 2025 conference. BECC participants and presenters represent a variety of backgrounds and communities (research, academia, business, consultants, utilities, government, and the nonprofit sector).
