Behavioural Science Interventions in Development and Environmental Fields in Developing Countries: A Protocol

Human behaviour is a key driver of climate change yet rigorous empirical guidance is lacking in terms of how behavioural science can effectively support adaptation and emissions reductions in developing countries. This article presents an evidence gap map and the approach for a systematic review on the effectiveness of behavioural science interventions on environmental and development outcomes. The article consists of two parts. First, the article presents the approach and findings from the evidence gap map. The second part presents the protocol for conducting a systematic review and synthesis. The article details the selection of cells from the completed evidence gap map for the systematic review and the approach to meta-analysis according to the conventions within the evidence synthesis field.
