From Data to Action: Empowering Policies for Sustainable Choices is the final conference of the PSLifestyle project, which will explore how the Lifestyle Test can advance Europe’s sustainability goals beyond its pilot countries. This digital tool supports individual behaviour change while generating valuable big data insights for policy development.

Taking place on 13 May 2025 (09:30-17:00) at BIP Meeting Centre in Brussels (Belgium), the event will highlight project achievements and lessons learnt. A high-level EU workshop will facilitate discussions among policymakers, researchers, industries, and civil society on sustainable behaviours, policy implications, and scaling PSL insights across Europe.

Over four years, PSLifestyle has engaged citizens and collected big data across eight countries (Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, and Türkiye). The project has empowered individuals to measure and reduce their carbon footprints while equipping policymakers with data to shape impactful policies.

This conference is organised by ICLEI Europe and features three ICLEI Members Izmir (Türkiye) Tampere (Finland) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) in its consortium. This event is a unique opportunity to reflect, collaborate, and envision a future where informed policies and individual actions drive meaningful climate progress. Join us to celebrate the PSLifestyle journey and shape the path forward!
