Many climate predictions focus on physical models like wind speed, temperatures and geochemistry, but significantly overlook how human behaviour responds to environmental change. Mathematician Dr. Chris Bauch is addressing this gap in research and considering the social processes driving greenhouse gas emissions.
“Without the emissions, there's no climate change. If we understand behaviour, we can better predict how emissions will change over time,” Bauch says. His research aims to develop mathematical models that view the Earth as a unified system where human actions and climate change are interconnected.
