From Data to Action: Empowering Policies for Sustainable Choices

 

Achieving the European Union’s 2050 climate goals requires a collective effort from individuals, policymakers, industries, civil society organisations, and researchers. While systemic change is critical, empowering individuals to make sustainable lifestyle choices is equally essential. The PSLifestyle project has worked to bridge this gap, providing citizens with tools to measure and reduce their carbon footprints while offering policymakers valuable data to inform impactful policies.

After four years of implementation, the PSLifestyle project is coming to a close in 2025. The project has engaged citizens across eight European countries—Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, and Turkey—and has co-created the Lifestyle Test, a digital tool that not only supports individual behaviour change but also generates big data insights to guide policy development.

This final event, taking place in Brussels on Tuesday, 13 May 2025, will reflect on the project’s achievements and explore how the Lifestyle Test can continue to advance Europe’s sustainability goals. The event will also feature a high-level EU workshop that aims to foster a targeted dialogue between key actors (policymakers, researchers, industries, and civil society) on sustainable behaviours, their implications for policy and practice and scaling PSL insights and tools in Europe.

 

The conference will bring together policymakers, researchers, industry and other key stakeholders to foster collaboration and dialogue. Join us to reflect on the lessons learned, celebrate the project’s successes, and envision a future where empowered individuals and informed policies work together to drive meaningful climate action.
