UNECE urges easier sustainable energy choices and greener defaults
Original: Cut the hassle, introduce greener defaults and make sustainable energy choices easier, urges UNECE
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe is calling on governments and energy providers to remove the hassle from sustainable choices by introducing greener defaults, so that environmentally friendly energy becomes the automatic option rather than one that requires extra effort. The appeal focuses on simplifying consumer decisions around heating, power and energy use across the UNECE region to speed up the transition to cleaner energy.
Why now: UNECE has just issued new guidance promoting behavioural 'default' measures to cut household hassle and boost sustainable energy uptake.
