Scientists and policymakers recognize the need to address consumption and lifestyles in order to reconcile environmental and development agendas. Sustainability-oriented grassroots initiatives emerge bottom-up to create opportunities for sustainable lifestyles; yet no prior assessment has ascertained the efficacy of their members to reduce carbon footprints (CF) and enhance well-being. We compare the CF of non-members and members of grassroots initiatives in the domains of food, clothing, housing and transport. We further compare the groups by testing the influence of socio-economic variables that are typically associated with both footprint and well-being. Here we show that grassroots initiative members have 16% lower total carbon footprint, and 43% and 86% lower carbon footprints for food and clothing respectively, compared to their “non-member” regional socio-demographic counterparts. We find a higher adoption of some energy-saving behaviors for initiative members such as greater active travel distance and lower indoor temperatures in the winter, yet no significant differences in the CF of housing and transport. Interestingly, increases in income are not associated with increases in the total CF of members, while the influence of income is confirmed for the CF of the total sample. Instead, factors such as age, household size, and gender better explain the variation in the domain-specific CFs of initiative members. Finally, members show higher life satisfaction compared to non-members and are 11–13% more likely to evaluate their life positively. Our results suggest that initiative members uncover lifestyle features that not only enable lower emissions, but also reconcile emissions with income and well-being.

The relationship between organisational identification, local descriptive and injunctive norms, and pro-environmental norm transmission is investigated. Organizational identification was found to be a reliable predictor of norm transmission. Local Descriptive and injunctive norms were found to be important, but the degree of importance varied depending on whether or not the norm transmission was to subordinates. Regression trees allow for a nuanced understanding of the data, including the existence of subgroups/interactions.

This chapter demonstrates an approach to the agent-based modelling of norm transmission using decision trees learned from questionnaire data. We explore the implications of adding norm dynamics implied in static questionnaire data and the influence social network topology has on the outcome. We find that parameters determining network topology influence the outcome in both hierarchical and co-worker networks in a simulated workplace. As an exercise in empirical agent-based modelling, this work highlights the importance of gathering data on interactions in field studies.

Pro-environmental behaviors have been analyzed in the home, with little attention to other important contexts of everyday life, such as the workplace. The research reported here explored three categories of pro-environmental behavior (consumption of materials and energy, waste generation, and work-related commuting) in a public large-scale organization in Spain, with the aim of identifying the most effective policy options for a sustainable organization. Agent-based modeling was used to design a virtual simulation of the organization. Psychologically informed profiles of employees were defined using data gathered through a questionnaire, measuring knowledge, motivations, and ability. Future scenarios were developed using a participatory backcasting scenario development methodology, and policy tracks were derived. Dynamic simulations indicated that, to be effective, organizational policy should strengthen worker participation and autonomy, be sustained over time, and should combine different measures of medium intensity for behavior change, instead of isolated policies of high intensity.

Understanding the diversifying role of civil society in Europe’s\ud sustainability pathway is a valid proposition both scientifically\ud and socially. Civil society organisations already play a\ud significant role in the reality of cities, what remains to be\ud explored is the question: what is the role of civil society in the\ud future sustainability of European cities? We first examine the\ud novelty of new forms of civil society organization based on a\ud thorough review of recent case studies of civil society initiatives\ud for sustainable transitions across a diversity of European\ud projects and an extensive literature review. We conceptualize a\ud series of roles that civil society plays and the tensions they\ud entail. We argue that, civil society initiatives can pioneer new\ud social relations and practices therefore be an integral part of\ud urban transformations and can fill the void left by a retreating\ud welfare state, thereby safeguarding and servicing social needs\ud but also backing up such a rolling back of the welfare state. It\ud can act as a hidden innovator—contributing to sustainability\ud but remaining disconnected from the wider society. Assuming\ud each of these roles can have unintended effects, such as being\ud proliferated by political agendas, which endanger its role and\ud social mission, and can be peeled off to serve political agendas\ud resulting in its disempowerment and over-exposure. We\ud conclude with a series of implications for future research on the\ud roles of civil society in urban sustainability transitions

While we can find much evidence to suggest that environmental psychology has strengthened itself as a social institution, as Proshansky advocated some 30 years ago, this concluding chapter critically reviews continued shortcomings and strategies to overcome these. In one of the most rapidly expanding fields of environmental psychology, i.e., research concerning climate change and how to avoid it, there has been a concentration on internal individual factors like knowledge, worldviews, and values. Since people live, work, and act in cooperation with others and since this cooperation is shaped by and shapes individual and collective identities and actions there is also a need for environmental psychology to focus on these collective activities and the conditions under which they can become transformative. Workplaces constitute one of the most important ‘communities of practices’, not least because the majority of people spend a large amount of their lifetime at work. To exemplify the possibilities of research on collective action at and around work, two case studies are presented. The first employed backcasting scenarios to explore employees’ visions for an alternative, sustainable future and involved scenario development by creating visions for the future, defining strategic pathways to reach them, providing feedback on how policy measures would function in a simulated environment and asking participants to suggest corrections to their initial proposals and the model design. The second case study reports on an international study of trade union environmental policies which aim to curb the damaging effects of climate change, the causes and consequences of which develop in a global context. This research found that while action at the local level and collaboration at a global level are both critical, the divide between unions of the global South and unions of the global North is one of the main impediments to a common global trade union strategy against climate change. This leads back to environmental psychology as a discipline, raising important issues about the ‘production’ of environmental psychology and connecting individual practices and identities to the environments, (i.e., the spaces) in which they develop. The chapter closes by suggesting that since the actions of individuals and groups are context specific, and since these contexts are connected globally, environmental psychology needs to find ways to communicate across the power geometries of the North and South, not least by finding ways to include scholars from the global South into its discourses and scientific practices.

Encouraging pro-environmental behaviour at work can result in a significant reduction in environmental problems. Research revealed that general environmental considerations such as biospheric values and environmental self-identity are important antecedents of private pro-environmental behaviour. Yet, the question remains whether such general environmental considerations also predict pro-environmental behaviour at work. We propose a parsimonious theoretical model (the VIP-model) in which biospheric values affect personal norms to behave pro-environmentally at work and pro-environmental actions via the environmental self-identity. A study involving a diverse sample of employees from different European organizations supported the VIP-model, showing that biospheric values and environmental self-identity influence personal norms, and that stronger personal norms encouraged various self-reported pro-environmental behaviours at work to some extent. The VIP-model yields promising, cost-efficient strategies to encourage pro-environmental behaviour at work.

Large organizations are responsible for a significant amount of GHG emissions. This trend will even increase over the next 100 years. An issue for environmental research is the investigation of the factors promoting or hindering the transition to more sustainable energy behaviors in the workplace. This study is part of a larger project, funded under the EU-FP7 program, called “Low Carbon at Work” (LOCAW). We present the results of a qualitative study assessing the existing everyday behaviors in two large-scale organizations: an Italian-based multinational renewable energy producer, and a Spanish public university (The University of A Coruña). Data obtained by interviews with key-informers and focus groups were content analyzed, using ATLAS.ti. Results indicate many commonalities and some differences between the two case studies. Working in a green anergy company leads individuals to be more sensitized about environmental issues, although a core thematic category refers to the concept that energy-related behaviors “rely on individual feeling”. Data from the University of A Coruña suggest this organization has the right values and objectives, but it does not always adequately implement organizational policies to support sustainable energy use among students and employees. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

La educación ambiental es un proceso permanente en el cual los individuos y las comunidades adquieren conciencia de su medio y aprenden los conocimientos, los valores, las destrezas, la experiencia y también la determinación que les capacite para actuar, individual y colectivamente, en la resolución de los problemas ambientales presentes y futuros. La educación ambiental es, ante todo, educación para la acción, pues “actúa ampliando nuestros conocimientos y conciencia acerca de los impactos de la actividad humana sobre el medio, pero con el objetivo último de mejorar nuestras capacidades para contribuir a la solución de los problemas”. En este marco, los procesos de participación ambiental han sido definidos como potenciales espacios de aprendizaje social que permiten la comprensión por parte de la ciudadanía, de los procesos ambientales (en conexión con el contexto social, económico y cultural), fomentando actitudes críticas y constructivas, que promuevan procesos de transición hacia estilos de vida sostenibles a través de la acción comunitaria. En España, las organizaciones o grupos de consumo responsable han sido definidos como espacios de innovación comunitaria en los que la ciudadanía se convierte en agente educador y “es el sujeto de cambio” jugando un relevante papel como creadores de nuevos marcos socioculturales que se convierten en referentes para el resto de la sociedad (Suriñac, 2012). En Galicia, comunidad en la que los hábitos de consumo de sus ciudadanos han cambiado radicalmente en los últimos 15 años, ha emergido una red de grupos de consumo responsable y sostenible que, en los últimos cinco años, se ha consolidado y expandido a lo largo del territorio. Este trabajo presentará la primera fase de un estudio cualitativo sobre las asociaciones/cooperativas de consumo sostenible de Galicia, analizando, en primer lugar, el perfil de consumidor/cooperativista y los valores, creencias y motivaciones que lo mueven a participar en una iniciativa comunitaria de este ámbito. En segundo lugar, se estudiarán los diferentes procesos de aprendizaje social generados en dichos espacios colaborativos (“comunidades de aprendizaje”), como resultado de la participación (horizontal e igualitaria) en contextos significativos (Heras, 2007) y que promueven la mejora de competencias sociales, el aumento del conocimiento teórico y la capacidad de resolución de problemas y gestión de conflictos. Finalmente, se indagará en la transferencia del conocimiento y habilidades adquiridas a otras esferas del individuo, coherentes con el desarrollo de estilos de vida sostenibles.

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar brevemente o projeto LOCAW (Low Carbon at Work), um projecto financiado pelo 7º Programa Cadro da União Europeia que visa promover a compreensão das barreiras e melhorar estilos de vida sustentáveis através da investigação sobre os determinantes do comportamento nas práticas cotidianas e no local de trabalho. Este projecto centra-se em seis grandes organizações que ocupam diferentes posições no debate sobre a abordagem da sustentabilidade. Um enfoque multimétodo é apresentado, com ênfase especial sobre o uso de cenários de back-casting como metodologia inovadora que pode ajudar a projetar padrões sustentáveis de mudança nas organizações. Finalmente, este trabalho apresenta os resultados preliminares da primeira parte do projeto, que incide sobre o diagnóstico das práticas cotidianas no ambiente de trabalho. Tanto a metodologia de cenários de back-casting e os resultados preliminares serão apresentados exclusivamente relacionados com o estudo de caso espanhol, ou seja, uma universidade.ou seja, uma universidade.

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is an increasingly popular technique for modeling organizations or societies. In this paper, an ABM of environmental decisions in an academic organization is devised. The decision-making model for the agents and the social network have been constructed using data obtained by responses of individuals of the organization to a questionnaire. As the number of responses is relatively small while the number of variables measured is relatively high, and obtained decision rules should be explicit, decision trees were selected to generate the decision-making model after applying different techniques to properly preprocess the data set. Regarding the social network, two networks working in parallel were developed: the hierarchical relationships, or vertical network, and the relations of friendship and companionship, or horizontal network. After that, the effects of different policies derived from the scenarios obtained from backcasting workshops were tested, with the intention of investigating how to make policies more effective. The results obtained for the academic organization are presented.
