ACCTING Future Research Agenda: Transformative Behavioural Change for Energy Communities and Environmental Sustainability in Micro-Entrepreneurship

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The ACCTING project explores the impact of Green Deal policies on individual and collective behaviours, provides evidence, and empowers policymakers and stakeholders to anticipate and mitigate potential negative effects. Its Agenda for Future Research highlights key research gaps across Green Deal policy areas and provides a clear overview of research priorities and needs for a fair and sustainable transition. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the development of future research agendas and pave the way for inclusive and effective policymaking and implementation. This research agenda explores how energy communities that wish to pursue societal goals can serve as catalysts for sustainable practices and social inclusion, focusing on the transformative behavioural changes needed to achieve equitable and environmentally conscious outcomes. It also addresses the integration of social and environmental objectives for micro-entrepreneurs who operate under resource constraints.
