Lois Player is a Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath. Her PhD research explores the public acceptability of climate transport policies, and she routinely collaborates with local policymakers to help them design fair, effective and well-accepted climate policies (e.g. Bath & North East Somerset and Bristol City Council).
She completed a secondment with the UK Government’s climate advisors, the Climate Change Committee, exploring the role of people and behaviour change in the transition to Net Zero, and the importance of considering fairness in climate policymaking.
Related to this, Lois is interested in how we can best involve the public in climate policy decision-making. She has worked with CAST on various projects seeking to enable low-carbon behaviours, for example with Cornwall Council to foster sustainable travel behaviours, Thames and Anglian Water to support water saving behaviours, and the Climate Change Committee to understand how behaviour change insights can help inform climate policy.
