Within the broader context of the climate crisis and the European Green Deal, ACCTING endeavoured to understand the impact of environmental and climate policies on existing inequalities and vulnerable groups. It also looked at how to motivate more pro-environmental behavioural changes among both individual and collective actors, empowering people to adapt their behaviour in a variety of areas (energy usage, food consumption, transport choices).

Across two cycles of research and co-creation, evidence was translated into action ideas, recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders, pilot initiatives and priorities for future research.
