- [From Research to Standards: A Decade of Advancing Energy Behavior Programs](https://seechangeinstitute.com/2026/04/22/research-to-standards/) - Over the past 12 years (wow!), we’ve worked on some really interesting projects advancing behavioral science at the intersection of energy, climate, health, and media. As See Change heads into our 13th year, we’d like to share some project highlights and insights with you! To kick off, we recently celebrated the release of “CSA/ANSI Standard
- [Research Roundup: March 2026](https://seechangeinstitute.com/2026/03/24/research-roundup-0326/) - What actually changes climate behavior? How do algorithms shape political attitudes? And why does backlash often follow social progress? Each month we highlight a few recent publications and essays that caught our attention: work that helps illuminate how change happens across climate, behavior, media, and society. Here’s what we’ve been reading in March: Voelkel et
