Belonging drives investment intentions
Achieving the European Union's ambitious climate change targets will require substantial additional investment, particularly from private citizens. Despite the considerable potential for citizens to participate in sustainable initiatives, there is a significant gap between their expressed interest and actual investment behaviour. Crowdfunding has emerged as a promising method to reduce barriers to citizen participation, but the persistent attitud…
Participation as a pathway to procedural justice
The engagement of citizens in the energy transition through a variety of energy initiatives is an important component of a just energy transition. Through analyses of 378 energy initiatives, along with 81 interviews with energy professionals across eight European countries, including Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, and Türkiye, we examine how and in what ways these initiatives address justice outcomes. Specifically…
Unveiling the power of social norms interventions
Behavioural strategies to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable habits have received increasing attention from economic, psychological, and social sciences. Among these, social norm-based interventions have been proposed as effective tools in psychological research. In this study, we employ a randomized control trial (RCT) to assess the effectiveness of a social norms intervention to encourage energy-saving behaviors among members of …
From dispersed practices to radical socio-technical imaginaries
How to engage diverse groups of people in the energy transition in Europe is a pressing issue, one that requires grappling with the role of collectivities and social change dynamics. Based on the results of multi-form Citizen Action Labs (CAL) in four European cities, this article details the different ways in which energy citizenship was practised, drawing from an analysis of survey and workshop data, national reports, and exchanges between rese…
Assessing the impact of structural change in sustainable consumption and lifestyles research
Scientific evidence highlights the pivotal role for structural change in pursuit of the sustainability transformation. A particular challenge for research on structural aspects of sustainable consumption and lifestyles, however, is the assessment of their impact. Especially quantifying the impact of structural change remains a serious problem. While some forms of structural change can be quantified, like the rate of building renovations, changes …
