Building Bridges to a Greener Future: How Behavior Analysts can become Partners in Sustainability matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Building Bridges to a Greener Future: How Behavior Analysts can become Partners in Sustainability, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →The global climate crisis represents one of the most significant challenges of our time, which demands solutions rooted in behavior change. Behavior analysis is uniquely positioned to contribute to sustainability efforts, yet many behavior analysts are not sure where to begin. This panel consists of a diverse group of leaders that represent areas that are all interested in working towards more sustainable practices to address climate change through behavior analysis. Panelists will share their experiences in translating environmental goals into behavioral objectives, their successes and encountered barriers, and how to participate in projects within sustainability. This session aims to empower behavior analysts to become active participants in creating a more sustainable future by bridging the gap between behavioral science and the global sustainability movement through encouraging participants to grow their knowledge base of ABA and sustainability by increasing involvement in educational programs, climate coalitions, and special interest groups.

Jonathan W. Kimball, Ph.D., BCBA-D received a master's from Columbia University Teachers College and a doctorate in Applied Behavior Analysis and Special Education from The Ohio State University. He joined Behavior Development Solutions in 2020 as Senior Behavior Analyst, prior to which he spent more than 25 years as a clinician specializing in early intervention for children with autism. Additional professional endeavors include creating the first BACB approved course sequence in the state of Maine and co-founding the Association for Maine Behavior Analysts. Outside the realm of education, he has applied principles of behavior to a number of pro-environmental endeavors, including two grant-funded projects: one an effort to increase recycling at tailgate events during Ohio State football games, the other a project to introduce composting and divert cafeteria food waste at a Massachusetts high school. He co-authored two articles on using games of chance to promote sustainable behavior in congregate settings, an idea that subsequently was implemented at the annual conferences of several state-level chapters of the Association for Behavior Analysis International.
