Online Webinar
More Inclusive Sustainability Policies
22 May, 11.00 – 12.30 CET
ACCTING’s research on climate-related topics – ranging from sustainable food and biodiversity to sustainable mobility and energy communities – identified in its Research Agendas a number of key knowledge gaps and research questions which will be promoted to researchers and research funding organisations.
This webinar is part of a series of three webinars that will highlight the project’s future research agendas. Click here to discover the other two webinars!
This webinar will discuss how future research can actively shape sustainability policies and support Green Deal objectives. More concretely, the focus lies on knowledge gaps related to sustainability policies and institutional frameworks, i.e., unanswered questions with regard to the (co-)design of policies, the decision-making processes in policymaking, and ensuring the inclusiveness of policy frameworks. To frame this discussion, the webinar focuses on the following two areas:
- Inclusive and sustainable mobility, focusing on topics in need of further research like the institutional, cultural and political factors that shape the uptake of intersectional approaches in mobility policies and make local authorities either adopt or avoid co-design approaches while designing policies.
- Local environmental stewardship and sustainable behavioural change, focusing on topics in need of further research such as how to develop inclusive frameworks of pro-nature engagement and how to balance economic pressures with sustainability goals.
An external speaker (see below) will offer their reaction to the research agenda on inclusive and sustainable mobility, and share their expert insights. The session is particularly relevant for researchers, civil society actors, and research funding organisations interested in shaping inclusive environmental policies.
External speaker: Hélène Bouscasse
