Shaping Public Policy through Behavioural Science

The UN Secretary-General has expressed that: “Behavioural science is a critical tool for the UN to progress on its mandate. It can contribute to combating poverty, improving public health and safety, promoting gender equality, strengthening peacebuilding and all the SDGs. UN Entities are strongly encouraged to invest in behavioural science and work in a connected and collaborative interagency community to realise its tremendous potential for impact.” Accordingly, UNSSC's third thought leadership series event was geared towards all who are interested in understanding the use of social behaviour insights as a tool to design and implement public policy.
