The OECD has been working on the environment and household consumption and behaviour for a number of years. An on-going project on environmental policy and household behaviour is intended to help countries design policies which reduce the environmental impacts from household consumption patterns. In addition, there is a long-standing project on public procurement and the environment. Present work includes a review of the implementation of policies to reduce the environmental impacts of public sector consumption and expenditures in OECD Member countries.

Based on a review of empirical studies, this book analyses the determinants of environmental behaviour in five key areas where households exert pressure on the environment: energy use, transport, waste generation, food consumption and water use. The book widens the scope of previous analysis by examining the effect of various types of environmental policy instruments and by considering differences in environmental behaviour among households (e.g. age, income, education). It concludes by examining main policy implications for the choice and the design of instruments.
