Project description

In an era of climate change, oceans full of plastic waste, premature deaths due to air pollution, and endless traffic congestions, a shift towards sustainable consumption is more than ever necessary. The aim of this research project is (a) to uncover the automatic (evaluative) processes that underlie sustainable consumption, and (b) to develop novel interventions to promote a sustainable lifestyle.
