Sustainable lifestyles: Personal motivations, external challenges and facilitators
2022-08-15
The latest UNEP Emissions Gap Report (2021) and IPCC sixth assessment report (2022) show that it is possible to limit the global temperature rise to 2.2°C if the net-zero emissions pledges are fully implemented and, thus, they call for immediate action both from the production and consumption-side. The projections show that policy-makers, businesses and society need to take effective measures to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and…
Will households accept 1.5° Lifestyles?
2022-07-14
One of the heart pieces of the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project are the so-called Citizen Thinking Labs. Does this mean we lock up citizens into laboratories and experiment with their brains? No, of course not. We had a virtual coffee with our two project partners Lena Domröse and Maren Tornow from adelphi, who conceptualize the labs, to learn more about what a Citizen Thinking Lab looks like.

1.5° Lifestyles inspiration: A household, where all the problems of the world get to be dealt with
2022-06-02
In the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project, we are working and interacting with different stakeholders to learn more about 1.5° lifestyles as well as the factors that enable and obstruct efforts to these ways of living. As part of this learning process, we are interviewing citizens who are pioneers of 1.5° lifestyles in different European countries. We will share their inspiring stories in our blog. First, we share the story of a Hungarian family.
Changing the Goals of the System: A conversation with Dan O’Neill on moving away from economic growth and bringing about a 1.5° lifestyles transformation
2022-06-01
The IPCC report underlines the need to stay within 1.5° of warming.
We sat down with Dan O’Neill to discuss the topic of transformative change, (limits to) economic growth, and how 1.5° lifestyles can be “a good life for all”. Below we have summarised the key takeaways from our discussion.
Changing union narratives of "the good life" - from overwork and overconsumption to sufficiency and more time?
2022-05-27
In a recently published paper in the Journal of Industrial Relations, WWU team member Halliki Kreinin and co-author Katharina Keil find that German trade union narratives of "the good life" increasingly include broader sustainability concerns. The paper provides interesting inputs for reaching 1.5° lifestyles through mobilising different actors (in this case, unions) for the needed social…
