Pia Mamut
I have a background in political science (Universities of Münster and Twente) and sustainability science (Lund University). My doctoral thesis focuses on the role of sufficiency as a normative source for the energy transformation in the regional discourses of German "energy and climate model regions". One of the main findings is that sufficiency as a norm comes in different strengths in the…

Walking the Talk
The EU 1.5° LIFESTYLES consortium is well aware of the fact that all our activities within the project have certain environmental burdens on our planet (CO2 emission, waste, energy use, etc. due to our project meetings, workshops, conferences, thinking labs, ordinary work in the office).
That is why we are trying to reduce these burdens and if possible compensate them in the following ways:
EU 1.5° LIFESTYLES partner GreenDependent shared its 'green events checklist' with the consortium that we all agreed to bear in mind when organizing our project meetings, all project related events
About the 1.5° target
What is the 1.5° target?
Long-running scientific research on greenhouse gas emission projections, climate modelling, and assessments of climate change impacts on the earth and human society, show that limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is our best chance to mitigate the worst effects of the climate crisis. Achieving the 1.5° target would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change, including ecosystems collapse, temperature extremes, heavy precipitation events, agricultural and ecological damages from droughts, and sea level rise.
The goal “to limit
About the project
The IPCC concludes in their Special Report on Global Warming that limiting global temperature increase needs demand-side actions and lifestyle changes. Previous attempts to realise demand-side changes have been hampered by several factors:
- First, there is very limited quantitative data showing how much a proposed change in lifestyle would contribute to climate change mitigation. Thus, policy makers and citizens lack guidance to make informed choices.
- Second, there is still limited evidence of public acceptance of drastic changes. This has led to internationally uncoordinated policies and
Reaching 1.5-Degree Lifestyles with the Climate Puzzle at the Nordic COP26 Hub Helsinki
How could we help individuals and households truly realize the importance of lifestyle change and the various ways in which lifestyle carbon footprints can be reduced? D-mat has been working on resolving the issue for years, which has led us to invent the Climate Puzzle.
The Climate Puzzle is a design and education game which offers concrete examples on how to mitigate carbon footprints and makes…
Why Do We Need 1.5° Lifestyles?
The EU 1.5° Lifestyles project aims to mainstream 1.5° Lifestyles. But what do we mean by lifestyles, and why 1.5°? We know that our lifestyles have to change if we are to mitigate the worst effects of the climate crisis - and that means creating radical change in the structures that shape our lifestyles, from policy to infrastructure, and economic and societal institutions.
What is the 1.5° target?
Long-running scientific research on greenhouse gas emission projections, climate modelling, and assessments of climate change impacts on the earth and human society, show that limiting warming
10 New Insights in Climate Science Report includes focus on the need to support lifestyles change
This year’s 10 New Insights in Climate Science Report finds that supporting household behaviour changes is a crucial but often overlooked opportunity for climate action.
