Behaviour Change for Energy Efficiency: Opportunities for International Cooperation in the G20 and beyond.
Background
Energy users’ behaviour is a key factor influencing the way they respond to energy efficiency policies and whether they choose (or not) to adopt energy efficient technologies and services. Therefore, incorporating an understanding of energy users’ behaviour into the design of policies, business models and technologies is crucial for realising energy efficiency goals. Recognising this, behaviour change surfaced as an important subject to boost the impact of energy efficiency policies at the last G20 Energy Ministers’ meeting held on 15 June 2018 in Bariloche (see Communique here).
This one-day scoping workshop brought together members from IPEEC, the IEA and G20 economies – as well as other IOs, research organisations, and advocacy bodies working in this field – to share hands-on experiences and discuss the opportunities for international collaboration on how behavioural sciences can be applied to energy efficiency policies to enhance their effectiveness.
