2. “People have to sacrifice a little bit of their short term self-interest to help the world be a better place for the long term. And how you get people to do that, I think, is the most important research that can be done.”

8. COORDINATION IS NEEDED!

9. PREVIOUS RESEARCH GG reat progress! (Even Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences…). LL ist of conditions under which collective action is most likely to take place. BB UT: SS mall scale LL imited number of actors HH igh levels of trust WW HAT ABOUT THE LARGER SCALE?

10. OBJECTIVES  I nter-disciplinary research contributing to a general, empirically founded theory about Large-Scale Collective Action (LSCA).  Leave significant imprints on science  Impact on society, e.g. through recommendations on how to develop adequate policy measures

11. RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1.What factors determine successful voluntary and (in particular) regulated LSCA? 2.How do these factors interact?

12. POINT OF DEPARTURE

13. NATURE OF THE COORDINATION PROBLEM -Awareness of the problem -Who will be affected and when -The severity of consequences

14. ACTOR-SPECIFIC FACTORS -Trust -Values -Policy-specific beliefs

15. EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE SURROUNDINGS -Type of political system -Quality of the political system -Culture (social and political)

16. INTERDEPENDENCE AMONG DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACTORS Example: CO 2 -emissions -> Corruption -> trust -> market-based instruments?

17. SELECTION OF COORDINATION PROBLEM  Anthropogenic CO 2 -emissions  --> climate change and ocean acidification.  Just the beginning!  Everything from over-fishing, antibiotic resistense, vaccination and traffic congestion to tax collection.

18. INITIAL RESEARCH AREAS  International agreements as a potential solution to LSCA problems  Communication of scientific knowledge to stakeholders to promote awareness (and potentially also LSCA)  (Fair) distribution and policy support  Policy compliance as a function of trust and third party characteristics

19. KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE  UGOT and beyond  Involvement in numerous programs  Few specialized courses  Capacity building abroad  Communication of research findings to policy-makers and other stakeholders  Policy advise  Public communication
