Theme 3: Trialling – How can we accelerate transformations?

Theme leads: 

Summary: 

In CAST Theme 3: Trialling, researchers work with a range of partners to develop, test and evaluate transformative interventions across a range of contexts and scales.  

We’re interested in people doing things differently – from live music venues trying to decarbonise concerts to football clubs helping their fans be more sustainable.  

We apply a ‘learning by doing’ methodology and support change in a collaborative, ongoing and iterative way.

The core aims of Theme 3 are:

  • Test out ways of doing things differently. 
  • Build communities that share and learn.

Projects we’re currently working on: 

  • Sub-national action with governments and businesses 
  • Organisational nature-economy change agents 
  • Mobilising football fans to change individual and collective behaviour 
  • Government-led change 
  • Changing travel behaviours  
  • Decarbonising live music  
  • Developing skills of change agents
