Research Activities

  • bewusstkaufen.at

    Ongoing support and content development of the web portal www.bewusstkaufen.at - climate-friendly living

  • biscuit4all

    The aim of the project is the development of a gender and diversity-sensitive framework model for interactive, digital solutions to promote climate-conscious behavior in different sustainability contexts. In the course of this, biscuit4all considers the 3 major climate-relevant contexts of energy use, mobility and nutrition.

  • bewusstkaufen 2021-2023

    Bewusstkaufen.at is an initiative of the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection (BMK) and the first web portal for sustainable consumption in Austria. With around 300 sustainable labels in the database ("Label-Kompass"), around 50 guides, an interactive seasonal calendar and ongoing editorial contributions, interviews and blog posts by experts on sustainability topics, it offers consumers a comprehensive information platform and shows environmentally and climate-friendly action alternatives. The institut für sustainability is in charge of the label database.

  • Fostering Carbon-Friendly Diets

    A reduction of meat consumption and shift to plant-based diets have been identified as crucial for reaching climate targets. While consumer research has distilled a range of factors driving meat consumption, insights into the effectiveness of (policy) interventions are still scarce. This project systematically reviews the scholarly literature for evidence of effective intervention measures to reduce meat consumption.
