Lifestyle & Behaviour
People love smartphones, drive diesel cars, fly to their holiday destination, eat Argentinian steak...unsustainable consumption and production patterns are widespread. Both individual and political will are needed to reverse this trend and encourage behaviours that do not harm the environment. Public authorities play an important role in incentivising lower-carbon behaviours. Energy Cities explore and promote the positivity around green lifestyle choices.
