Shahzeen Z. Attari studies how people think about and respond to climate change, energy use, and environmental problems. Her work examines public perceptions and misperceptions (for example, how people estimate home energy use), what makes climate communicators credible, and how individual behavior connects to support for broader climate policy. The research combines environmental science with psychology and decision-making.
Publication activity peaked around 2019 and has since settled to a steadier, lower rate of roughly two to three papers per year.
