A remarkable outcome of the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project is the publication of the Citizen Guide to 1.5° Lifestyles in 6 + 2 languages: a guidebook for citizens as well as experts and decision makers on how to reduce our carbon footprint so we can lead a 1.5°C-compatible lifestyles and set relevant and appropriate priorities in various strategies at the organisational, municipal and national level…

In a four-years-long project, it is not easy to decide what worked best and what created the most impact, discussion, or debate. However, in the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project we have a potential contender: the climate puzzle, a series board game that project team adapted specifically for the project based on an already existing version created by project partner D-mat.

Between 8-10 April 2025, several hundred delegates gathered to present and discuss issues around sustainable consumption and lifestyles in Lund, Sweden. As this conference was the final academic event of the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project, the team organised many different types of programmes and prepared several presentations.

In the last year of the project, the EU 1.5° Lifestyles team organised multi-stakeholder workshops in all the project countries (Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden) as well as at the European and international level first in Brussels, then in Lund.

On April 7, 2025, the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project brought together 32 stakeholders at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics in Lund, Sweden, to collaboratively develop strategies that support lifestyle transformations aligned with the European Green Deal and the 1.5°C climate target.

Although the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project officially wraps up at the end of April 2025, the conversation is far from over. Consortium members will continue sharing our insights, findings and tools with researchers, policymakers, practitioners and changemakers across Europe this year.
