More science doesn't hurt, but we lack leadership. Scientists are trained to research, report, and expand knowledge, but not the social and emotional skills to influence behavior.
If we want other people to change, we have to recognize that information, however accurate and valuable, and telling people what to do is of limited effect. If we want different outcomes we have to do different things.
Yes, still research, but don't expect it to change people's behavior. There are things that do, more like listening, role models, vision, empathy, stories, images, and what leaders do. I work on creating role models, stories, and vision.

I started my podcast, originally Leadership and the Environment, now This Sustainable Life https://joshuaspodek.com/podcast, to bring leaders and leadership to the environment. Maybe it's for you, maybe not, but it's what I wish was around before I started acting. The first episode https://shows.acast.com/leadership-and-the-environment/episo... describes the strategy.
