Climate change has long been a difficult problem to approach from an EA perspective. It is far from neglected as a cause area, and yet it is far from solved. It has certain long-term impacts, but their gravity and knock-on implications are fundamentally challenging to quantify. It’s a scientific, political, social, technological problem, woven into every aspect of our way of life, that requires serious effort to address if we are to protect those yet to be born. This session starts with a short talk and then breaks out by topic to collaborate on a question-gathering discussion, to feed into a project to map the crux unknowns in the EA-Climate Change space.

Mushfiq Mobarak and Heidi McAnnally-Linz speak to learning from cutting edge research on the science of scaling using examples from scaling interventions targeted at addressing seasonal poverty and from the NORM model targeted at increasing community-level mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. They will draw on these experiences to make the case for innovation through research as well as working with existing at-scale partners. They will emphasize the importance of using direct evidence from RCTs as well as exploring other complexities of scale such as national impacts, spillovers, etc.View the original talk and video here.Effective Altruism is a social movement dedicated to finding ways to do the most good possible, whether through charitable donations, career choices, or volunteer projects.
