Sustainable Lifestyles Accellerator

The Sustainable Lifestyles Accelerator – Catalyzing Change (ACCELERATOR)“ mobilizes more than 70 000 private households in seven countries (Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, Mexico, India) to analyse their material and carbon footprints, and to plan and implement footprint reductions by behavioural change. The project develops also the tools for further up-scaling the approach.

Based on experiences from Finland, we assume a footprint reduction potential of at least 25 % per participating household and a very high potential for scaling up these environmental effects. To guide and support such a transition, the ACCELERATOR will provide online and offline tools (and their combination) for footprint calculation, individual roadmapping and experimenting, and sharing experiences for up-scaling. During three rounds with an increasing number of households, the ACCELERATOR will be further developed in a way that allows its past-project application with a growing number of households.

Projektet skal inspirere husholdninger til at udregne deres klima- og materiale-fodaftryk og få inspiration til at reducere deres udledninger og forbrug.

Projektet har udviklet et online værktøjer til at udregne klima- og materialeforbrug i deres husholdninger. Der er udarbejdet kommunikationsmaterialer og lokale samarebejder for at få udbredt værktøjet og kommunikationsmaterialer.
