Research Insights
A central aspect of the ACCTING project was to understand the impact of Green Deal policy initiatives on individual and collective behaviours with specific attention to marginalised groups.
ACCTING research was based on eight research lines, defining the thematic focus of the project and generating 41 experimental studies in 13 countries. The research phase running in two cycles included an extensive mapping and comparative analysis of 150 bottom-up environmental initiatives in 34 countries and the collection of 401 interviews with individuals from vulnerable groups.
All deliverables published by ACCTING are peer-reviewed and available open access on our Zenodo community.
