Abstract: This brief explores how behavioural research can better address complex, ‘wicked’ problems such as inclusive water security and climate adaptation by integrating systems thinking, human-centred design and critical social sciences. The BASIN project argues that behavioural research can be advanced by integrating systems thinking, human-centred design and critical social sciences. This expanded approach to applying behavioural research to wicked problems aims to foster more holistic, equitable and sustainable solutions to water insecurity in a changing climate.
