Climate Policies of the European Union
The European Union has set ambitious goals to reduce current greenhouse gas emissions. The target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% until 2050. To reach this goal, emissions have to be reduced by 50% compared to the base year 1990. As private households in high income countries are responsible for about 50% of emissions, households are increasingly being included in climate policies. Integration of private households in climate policies implies that henceforth the focus will be set on consumer behavior. In order to better regulate consumption, more information on consumer behavior and readiness to contribute to climate protection needs to be aquired.
