The conference will be organized by the Behavioral Science Group (BSG), part of the Office of Development and Martyrs Families Affairs. The theme for the event is "New Frontiers in Behavioural Science." It will bring together experts from around the world to discuss how behavioural science can help solve global challenges like climate change, digital governance, public health, early education, and sustainable development.
In his speech, His Highness Sheikh Theyab said that the conference will explore how behavioural science can help improve government actions and lead to better results for people. He emphasized how important behavioural science is for making good decisions about tough problems. This science looks at how people make choices, which helps governments create better policies that people will follow.
Sheikh Theyab also said that when we understand why people behave the way they do, we can help them make decisions that benefit themselves and society. For example, it can help with health issues, nutrition, sustainable living, and making sure personal choices match what is needed for the community and the world. Behavioural science can also make government systems work better and improve social programs.
The BX2025 conference is now in its seventh edition and will feature important discussions on topics like how to use digital technology in an ethical way, creating sustainable cities, health equality, early education, and sustainable development.
Experts, researchers, and leaders from around the world will come together to share ideas and solutions that can help improve life for people everywhere.
BX2025 will show how the UAE is taking a lead in finding solutions to global problems and helping people live better, healthier, and more sustainable lives.
