Climate Change Behaviours Research Programme

This program explores the relationship between climate change behaviors and greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland. While production-based emissions have decreased by 10% (1995-2006), consumption-based emissions have risen by 15%. The program aims to identify key behaviors influencing emissions, barriers to change, and effective interventions through targeted communication and engagement. Key outputs include behavior change audits, policy recommendations, and communication strategies to promote sustainable practices within households, communities, and workplaces, contributing to Scotland's climate goals.
