Summary, in English

This study was conducted as part of a government commission which was
given to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Swedish EPA) in 2014.
The Environmental Protection Agency mandated the International Institute
for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University to conduct
a research study on nudging. The study has served and will serve as a direct
input to further strategic work on sustainable consumption policies.
The aim of the report is to synthesize existing knowledge about the effects
achievable with nudging on consumption and the environment, in what areas
nudging according to research can have the best effect and how nudging should
be applied to give the best effect. The study comprised a literature review and
interviews to collect experiences of working with nudging available in some
countries.
