Reasearch / work
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.
