Policy Solutions
The current climate narrative seems to find an increasingly stable ground among citizens and communities around the world, but a stronger political and social acceptance is needed. What is the work needed for policies to follow the solutions provided by the global scientific community? And how can the different actors of the society take action to foster the implementation of climate policies towards 1.5 degree lifestyles?

Policies have a crucial role in shaping lifestyles and enabling people to live in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
Lifestyles are complex, dynamic, diverse and influenced by a wide range of factors but research shows that there are three categories of factors that play a decisive role: attitudes, facilitators, and infrastructure. Governments can affect all of these factors: attitudes by providing credible information, highlighting role models, and serving as a good example; facilitators for example by affecting prices through taxes and subsidies; and infrastructure by making public investments.
