Full edition for scientific use. In the Paris Climate Agreement, Austria committed itself to dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the upcoming decades. Currently, in research, such emissions are mainly recorded on a national level and discussed on the basis of average values per capita. Such an approximation does not allow reliable statements about the role of different social groups in relation to climate change and emissions balance. Existing surveys of environmental behaviour, on the other hand, allow statements about the relationship between behaviour, attitudes and willingness to change, but have not been developed for the greenhouse gas-relevant behaviour of the population. This project aims to close this gap, to survey the CO2-relevant behaviour of the Austrian population, to test the factors influencing the different behaviours and thus to contribute to the achievement of the Paris target.
