The Sustainable Lifestyles Research Group (SLRG) is funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Economics and Social Research Council and the Scottish Government. Its aim is to develop an integrated understanding of the complex relationships between people's lifestyles and practices and sustainability. Specific objectives are:
- to develop new and relevant understandings of the processes which lead to changes in people's behaviours and practices;
- to build a sound conceptual basis for understanding and influencing change processes aimed at sustainable living;
- to provide advice on realistic strategies to enable more sustainable lifestyles.
SLRG is directed by Prof Tim Jackson from the University of Surrey and has key partners, Prof Bas Verplanken (University of Bath), Prof Andrew Stirling (University of Sussex), Simon Allen (The University of Edinburgh), Dr Julie Barnett (Brunel University) and Laura Blow (The Institute for Fiscal Studies). Ian Christie at the University of Surrey is the Research Co-ordinator and Gemma Birkett also at the University of Surrey is the Administrative Co-ordinator.
