Stéphane La Branche

Chercheur indépendant et climatologue de la société (ou sociologue du climat!), ce sont les interactions entre nos activités et la nature dans les deux sens qui me fascinent.

Independent reseacher and social climatologist (or climate and energy sociologist ), I am fascinated by the interactions between our activities and nature, be they negative, positive or neutral.

Especially, I aim to understand the individual, collective and institutional drivers of behavioural change and non change in ecological transition efforts since 2002 in several areas: adaptation to climate change, mobility, sobriety, territorial policies, town planning, social representations, perceptions, behaviors, institutional identity and operations… I have contributed to several territorial and national level policies and strategies.

Scientific coordinator of the GIECO / IPBC (go check it out!!! IPBC Home | International Panel on Behavior Change) since 2019, my researches have led me to contribute to and work with many different institutions (international, European and national in different countries), as well as well as numerous Territorial Climate Plans in France.
