| My research concerns how human values can be taken into account in
environmental policy formation. Human values can be seen as conceptions of
that which is desirable, guiding people in their everyday lives. In order
to be used as guidelines in a specific situation, values need to be
activated. The present project investigates how different kinds of
environmental policy instruments evoke different values, in turn leading
to different attitudes about the policy. |
