Trend radar resource policy: socio-economic and socio-cultural drivers of resource use and potentials of non-technical measures and instruments for resource conservation
The IZT used futurology methods to identify and evaluate trends in society that are relevant to resource policy.
On the one hand, driving SUVs and booking long-haul holidays, on the other, buying regional fruit and vegetables with as little packaging as possible: Numerous opposing trends can be identified in German society. In the "Trend Radar" project, the IZT used futurology methods to identify the most relevant trends influencing the global climate and resource consumption. Scientists then analysed these trends more closely in terms of their positive or negative effects on resource and climate protection. Based on this, relevant policy measures were identified, described and evaluated in terms of their impact. The trends and measures were also reflected on a milieu-specific basis. Workshops, focus groups and online communities were used for this purpose.
