- Thematic Priority Area – Sustainable Behaviour
- Changes in people’s consumption behaviours and practices are essential if we are to remain within planetary boundaries. In the coming calls for applications (first deadline 12 September 2016), “sustainable behaviour” will be a thematic priority area for KR Foundation.
The Foundation will especially consider funding for initiatives that explore novel ways to create and accelerate behavioural change, and that have the potential to change consumption patterns at a systemic level. This could include, for example, initiatives that focus on: - Promoting sustainable behaviour; for instance, by changing incentives, creating infrastructures, and shifting the architecture of choice
- Countering wasteful consumption; for instance, by supporting conscious, “mindful” or ethical consumption
- Supporting sustainable behaviour change in relevant target groups; for instance, amongst children, young people, or “millennials”
- Bringing research and insights from social and behavioural sciences into the political debate and decision-making
KR Foundation will NOT consider funding for initiatives that primarily focus on: - Sustainable production methods and systems
- Renewable energy systems and energy efficiency in housing/heating
- Labelling campaigns
- Size of grant
- KR Foundation’s grants typically range from DKK 0.5m to DKK 5m
