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.

from 03-Jun-2009 to 04-Jun-2009
The objective of the Conference organised by the Environment Directorate was to present the overall results of the OECD Household Survey on Environmental Behaviour and to discuss policy implications. Ten experts teams coordinated by the OECD presented their main findings in five key areas: energy, transport, waste, organic food and water. The Conference will also provide an opportunity to share experience and to explore avenues for the new round of the OECD Survey to be implemented in 2010.

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.
