The Environmental Association for Universities & Colleges have appointed me to undertake an independent evaluation of their Behaviour Change Management Programme pilot. This aims to support signatories of the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland (UCCCfS) to influence the behaviour of their staff and students in order to succeed in delivering meaningful change through their campuses, but more importantly through the fundamental role of education.

This follows a successful recent project for EAUC.
