The goal of this study was to conduct a survey experiment to identify factors that can change the environmental friendliness of individuals in terms of values, belief, concern, controllability, attitude, intention, and behaviour and to use the data to test the hypothesis that providing information about the amount of CO2 emissions attributable to an individual motivates him/her to reduce that amount. The subjects were 102 students at Shiga University in Japan. They were provided with communication opportunities, information about individual or group CO2 emissions, and information about a threshold value provided in the Paris Agreement. The results of this study indicate that knowing the amount of one’s CO2 emissions can improve that person’s environmental friendliness in terms of concern, attitude, intention, and behaviour. Therefore, such information should be provided to every individual (i.e., consumer) to reduce CO2 emissions., Discussion Paper, Series E, No. E-2, pp. 1-17}, title = {Stimulus to change every individual for reducing CO2 emissions: A survey experiment}, year = {2020} }
