Cel To examine the extent to which environmental policies relevant to global climate change could be more effective if they were designed and carried out with more attention to social differences in energy use and the capacity to change in environmentally responsible ways, and thus to comply with environmental policy requirements and standards.OBJECTIVES: To examine the extent to which environmental policies relevant to global climate change could be more effective if they were designed and carried out with more attention to social differences in energy use and the capacity to change in environmentally responsible ways, and thus to comply with environmental policy requirements and standards. DESCRIPTION: The project focuses on four main issues: i) whether social exclusion is environmentally relevant; ii) the extent to which there are differences in awareness, knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and capacities to adopt alternative behaviour relevant to global climate change on the part of socially excluded groups; iii) the extent of differentiated "responsiveness" and differentiated acceptance by socially excluded groups and individuals with regard to various new measures of climate policy; iv) whether environmental policies relevant to global change could be more effective and environmentally relevant if they took the circumstances of the socially excluded into account. The focus is on household behaviour in relation to transport, household energy consumption, waste disposal and waste reduction; all are considered in relation to global climate change. Four socially excluded groups are considered: the long-term unemployed; the elderly; the working poor; foreign migrants. Because of differences in social structures, not all these groups are covered in all four countries participating in the project (Germany, Greece, Switzerland, United Kingdom), however a comparative dimension and analysis is focused on and developed in the project.
