About BECC
The Behavior, Energy & Climate Change conference (BECC) is the premier event that brings together policymakers, utilities, and other energy service providers, researchers, organizations, and businesses focused on energy and behavior to advance knowledge and actionable climate solutions. BECC is co-convened by UC Berkeley, Stanford University, and the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
2025 Theme: “Energizing A Future for All”
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.
