Our findings highlight much untapped potential for systemic change through citizen action and offer insights into how engagement in Circular Citizenship Behaviours (CCBs) might be promoted.
Motivated by theories and evidence from the social psychology literature, we propose a novel continuous-time mathematical model that captures the evolution of motivation and behavior of energy consumers in a social network.
This research enhances theoretical understanding of how basic human values and value orientations relate to each other and to feelings of responsibility to protect marine environments. In addition, it provides practical insights for engaging the public in marine conservation efforts.
By centering local agency, affective ties to place, and democratic governance, restorative commoning offers a pathway for more inclusive and sustainable approaches to landscape revitalisation.
We developed the “Participatory Capital Framework” to illustrate the willingness and ability of citizens to participate in energy decision-making and stimulate energy efficiency and sufficiency strategies.
We conducted a large scale survey on NETPs in six EU countries (N = 5,310) to examine: (1) public preferences for NETPs, next to other mitigation options; (2) how people evaluate the environmental and intergenerational consequences and acceptability of nature-based (i.e., afforestation and reforestation; AR) and technology-based NETPs (i.e., direct air capture with carbon storage; DACCS); (3) the relationship between the evaluation of consequences and acceptability judgements of AR and DACCS; and (4) public preferences for AR and DACCS in general versus in their own country.
Our study demonstrates a scalable solution to fast-track widespread monitoring of small and ectothermic animals.
Our results show that campaigns that aim to boost energy saving at home should target how capable people feel of saving energy or remind them of the other pro-environmental actions they already do.

Although concrete environmental action still falls short of meeting environmental goals, this should not be directly attributed to a lack of caring about the environment.

We identify citizens’ “creative capital” for energy governance and argue that this brings added value for designing energy governance for a more socially, politically and environmentally sustainable energy system.
