This guidebook intends also to support policymakers and governments to reframe and redirect their national policies and inform society, which constitutes the final stakeholder of the implemented policies.

Statement from CAMPAIGNers to the Conference of the Parties
Until now, the majority of climate change mitigation policies have primarily focused on reducing emissions on the production side, with comparatively fewer measures addressed to the demand side. According to the IPCC ‘having the right policies, infrastructure and technology in place to enable changes to our lifestyles and behaviour can result in a 40-70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050’. Despite their key role in addressing climate change, the importance of sustainable lifestyles and behavioural change is not yet sufficiently recognised in UNFCCC priorities and processes.

COP28 side event | Reimagining NDCs: Unlocking the potential of sustainable lifestyles
COP28 represented a crucial moment in the global fight against climate change. While the Paris Agreement lays out the foundations for climate action, the role of governments, individuals, communities, and businesses in achieving our climate goals cannot be underestimated. Behavioural and lifestyle change are pivotal in driving sustainable practices and enhancing the effectiveness of national climate plans but remain largely ignored so far. This event built upon the experience from the Horizon2020 “CAMPAIGNers” research project and seeks to advance discussion on integrating lifestyle change into UNFCCC and its implementing measures.
