The impacts of digitalised daily life on climate change

Project description

New integrated science examines impacts of digitalised daily life on climate change

The impacts of digitalised daily life on climate change have not been studied systematically. The EU-funded iDODDLE project will develop a new thematic, cross-domain, inter-disciplinary science of digitalised daily life to support action on climate change. iDODDLE's research activities will be organised on people, system conditions and action, drawing on two new cross-cutting sources of primary data collection - a sample of 80 living lab households and an online survey panel of 6 000 respondents in Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The project will explore how digitalised daily life impacts climate change; determine the conditions under which digitalised daily life has beneficial or adverse impacts on climate change; and develop an evidence-based programme of action for ensuring digitalised daily life helps tackle climate change.

Objective

Tackling climate change requires changes to daily life in mobility, food, homes and energy domains. Digitalisation is a major trend reshaping daily life across all these domains. The digitalisation of daily life and its impact on resource consumption and emissions has not been studied systematically. A Tackling climate change requires changes to daily life in mobility, food, homes and energy domains. Digitalisation is a major trend reshaping daily life across all these domains. The digitalisation of daily life and its impact on resource consumption and emissions has not been studied systematically. A new integrated science is needed on digitalised daily life and climate change. This new field should look across domains at generalisable mechanisms, enabling conditions and steering strategies so digitalisation helps not hinders climate action. The aim of the iDODDLE project is to develop a new thematic, cross-domain, inter-disciplinary science of digitalised daily life in support of action on climate change. iDODDLE's research activities are organised in three work packages on people (micro-level), system conditions (macro-level) and action (policy and practice), drawing on two major new cross-cutting sources of primary data collection - a sample of 80 living lab households, and a longitudinal online survey panel of 6,000 respondents in UK, Sweden and Spain. iDODDLE will: (1) understand the ways in which digitalised daily life impacts climate change, including substituting physical for digital, accessing services instead of owning goods, and integrating households into supply networks; (2) determine the conditions under which digitalised daily life has beneficial or adverse impacts on climate change, including access to infrastructure, trust and power, and technophile lifestyles; (3) develop an evidence-based programme of action for ensuring digitalised daily life helps tackle climate change, including quantitative systems analysis of energy and material flows.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
