118 Stimulating action by individuals roles of Government, business and consumers in promoting behaviour change and reducing the negative environmental impacts of products. In certain circumstances Government and business will need to play a leadership role in “choice editing”, taking responsibility for ensuring appropriate minimum standards as well as advising consumers about better lifestyle choices. Consumers should expect that environmental responsibility will be as fundamental to the products they buy as health and safety is now. Making the Change Exemplify – Government taking the lead 6. Government can play a critical role by establishing a framework that encourages and enables changes in behaviour that reduces the footprint of individuals. Many of the policies set out in this programme already will contribute to this. But we will do more, and enable individuals to make choices that reduce the impact of our individual and collective actions on the environment and help to meet our emissions reduction goals. 5. The new model in Securing our Future set out an integrated approach to catalysing behaviour change through the four “Es”. The Climate Change Programme includes measures that seek to exemplify, enable, engage, and encourage the right attitude. 7. By increasing the purchase and use of energy efficient goods and services we create a powerful demand that markets will seek to meet, stimulating innovation and new business opportunities. The Government is committed to leading by example by making sustainable choices in the management of its own estates. Approach evolves as attitudes and behaviours change over time • Remove barriers • Give information • Provide facilities • Provide viable alternatives • Educate/train/provide skills • Provide capacity Enable • Tax system • Expenditure – grants • Reward schemes • Recognition/ social pressure – league tables • Penalties, fines and enforcement action Encourage Catalyse Is the package enough to break a habit and kick start change? Engage • Community action • Co-production • Deliberative fora • Personal contacts/ enthusiasts • Media campaigns/ opinion formers • Use Networks Exemplify • Leading by example • Achieving consistency in policies
Stimulating action by individuals 119 As set out in the Public Sector chapter: • The Government will use its own purchasing power to lead by example and has set itself a challenge of being an EU leader in sustainable public procurement by 2009. • In Summer 2006, the Government will introduce new strategic targets for the central government estate. Enable – make it easy to behave differently 8. This is the starting point. We know that providing individuals and communities with information is not sufficient to enable behaviour change. We need to help people make responsible choices by providing them with accessible alternatives and suitable infrastructure, and supporting them with the necessary skills and information. • As part of its Market Transformation Programme, the Government will identify potential eco-design standards for important products in households and non-households sectors. • The Government will explore the role of industry voluntary agreements such as the Code of Conduct on Digital TV services, procurement policy and UK-Led International Task Force on Sustainable Products which will encourage international benchmarking. • Budget 2006 announced a new initiative, in partnership with major retailers and the Energy Saving Trust, to introduce voluntary schemes in the retail sector which encourage the purchase of more energy efficient alternatives in consumer electronics. • The Government will continue to support colour-coded efficiency labels for products to help consumers make sustainable choices. • Providing better information and feedback on energy consumption through better billing and metering will also help individuals become more responsible in the way they use energy. The Government will work with Ofgem to explore these benefits and the potential for introducing smart metering in the UK. • Making sustainable choices when travelling is equally important. The Government will therefore explore the role of “smarter choices” to help curb emissions. • Defra is providing up to £4m over three years to roll out a new package of measures to help thousands of community groups across England to take action on sustainable development, including climate change. ‘Every action counts’ will provide new tools, information and support to community groups in taking small simple actions on energy, waste and water which add up to make a big difference nationwide. This initiative will also support over 20 national voluntary and community sector organisations to develop and implement their own sustainable development action plan, which will include the contribution these bodies can make to tackling climate change and energy efficiency. This initiative will be launched later in 2006.
