The issue of climate change can be defined as a “wicked problem”. It means that it is hardly possible to address the problem on a global scale because of its wide range of causes and impacts.To have a better understanding of the complexities of the issue, dividing it into smaller subproblems can be helpful. Therefore, looking at the issue from a local perspective can assist policy makers to come up with possible interventions. Groene Hub decided to act on a local scale and involve the community of Gaasperdam in switching to sustainable energy consumption. To facilitate this change, the organisation carried out an intervention, handing out thirty free energy displays to Gaasperdam’s households. Our project aims to research the effectiveness of these devices and investigate further opportunities to engage the local community of Gaasperdam to adopt a sustainable lifestyle in regard to energy consumption.
