  • Total budget 1,597,251
  • (ERDF 914,037)
  • Duration January 2005-December 2007
  • Partners Surrey County Council and Hampshire
    County Council (UK), Regional Environment Centre
    Estonia (EE), Municipality of Sykies (GR), Head
    Office Regional Environmental Centre (HU),
    Regione Liguria (IT), Provincie Utrecht (NL),
    City of Solna (SE).

We dont know enough about changing behaviour
  • Many good projects on sustainable consumption and
    production
  • But no systematic base of knowledge on how to
    influence lifestyles, attitudes and behaviour
    effectively
  • Increasing interest in behavioural issues - not
    just related to environment

5
Why ChangeLAB?
  • Behaviour change strategies are often confined
    within particular sectors or specialities.
  • Need to maximise the potential to use existing
    knowledge, encouraging transfer of experience
    not only between regions/countries, but also
    between sectors - transport, waste, water and
    energy
  • There is little information on whether
    previous initiatives have actually changed
    behaviour and by how much

6
What ChangeLAB does?
  • Creates an interactive Knowledge Database on
    existing experience of changing behaviour
  • Develops criteria for assessing successful
    projects
  • Identifies and refines effective techniques with
    potential for transfer across sectors and to
    other target groups
  • Tests the techniques further through 7 Pilot
    Actions in partner regions. Are they
    transferable?
  • Devises a set of practical tools for local
    decision makers in authorities, organisations and
    agencies working on public participation
    initiatives

7
How?
  • Over 140 relevant projects collected from partner
    regions and entered in Knowledge Base with a
    focus on water, waste, energy and transport
  • www.changelabproject.org
  • A Technique Planner which interrogates the
    Knowledge Base and suggests a mix of behaviour
    change techniques which fit a specific target
    group
  • 7 Pilot Actions
  • a toolkit on behaviour change

8
ChangeLAB toolkit
  • Knowledge Base,Technique Planner, 7 Pilot Actions
    and
  • Guidance for practitioners how to plan for
    success timing, targeting, communication,
    monitoring, evaluation, transferability and
    follow-up, plus tips

9
Developing the Technique Planner
  • Initial research suggested four broad approaches
  • Penalty/reward (e.g. congestion charging, prizes
    or awards)
  • Infrastructure (e.g. cycle tracks, water-saving
    devices, car share schemes)
  • Education/awareness-raising (e.g. role models,
    personal coaching, documentaries)
  • Social learning (e.g. eco-teams, learning by
    doing)
  • From these four, we have identified nineteen
    techniques

10
Techniques for changing behaviour
  • ChangeLABs Technique Planner uses 19
    techniques for behaviour change and helps you
    match these to your target group.
  • Laws and Regulations, Permits, Threat of
    Enforcement, Taxes, Agreements, Demonstrations,
    Subsidies, Incentives, Group Learning,
    Participation, Courses/Training, Personal Advice,
    Information, Labelling, Promotion,
    Comparisons/Benchmarks, Competition,
    Organisational Provision, Infrastructure
    Provision

11
ChangeLAB Pilots
  • Surrey water saturation project with a primary
    school and its community on evidence of changes
    in behaviour on water use
  • Sykies composting project involving 600
    citizens
  • REC Estonia children from 42 schools
    participating in a week-long sustainable
    transport to school project
  • Liguria three six hours workshops for 110
    building engineers on sustainable heating systems
  • Hampshire working with a group of retired
    people on energy and water saving activities with
    financial benefits
  • Utrecht 250 questionnaires on water saving
    circulated to local households in a new-build
    area - with 60 follow up home visits
  • Solna an exercise supporting and encouraging
    local authority staff to adopt sustainable travel
    to work behaviour

12
Guidance for practitioners
  • What behaviour do you want to change?
  • How do you know whether, and by how much, you
    have succeeded?
  • agreeing an action plan
  • successful implementation
  • measuring success
  • practical advice and tips
