It highlights novel policy ideas for triggering changes in consumer behaviour. It is a truism that when individuals do not have information (e.g., about environmental effects), that information cannot influence their decision. This has led to many policy interventions which supply information (e.g., energy labelling). Yet, the common premise that 'informed people make the right choices' is not supported by the evidence. The body of scientific work on influences on behaviours refutes the simplistic economic, rational view of decision making which is often relied upon. Instead most decisions are fundamentally complex. The policy brief discusses findings on the influence of biases and framing on decision-making, the role of values and social norms, but also the importance of physical infrastructures in shaping behavioural outcomes. The authors argues that, to be effective, policy-makers have to think more broadly about the set of interrelated influences which keeps people from adopting more sustainable practices. Policies need to address the multiple drivers of behaviour at the same time and in a coherent way. Also, instead of focusing exclusively on individuals, policies may be more effective when they target groups or whole segments of society with tailored approaches. The brief closes with a set of potential future policy options. The website article Promoting green behaviour: don't mention the environment! summarizes the results. The policy brief [pdf, 687 KB, English] is available for download. |
