The research group Citizens, environment and safety is interested in the relation between citizens and consumers and the environment, as well as human factors influencing safety-related behaviour.

We study research questions such as:

  • What are drivers and barriers regarding the environmental behaviour of citizens?
  • How can organizational psychology and human factors be used to improve safety, performance, and well-being?
  • What explains traffic behaviour and how can negative impacts on people and the environment be reduced?
  • Which human factors influence the effectiveness and sustainability of environmental and safety policies?

The group leads and participates in a larger number of national and international research projects in the areas of energy behaviour, climate communication, virtual reality as a means to enhance safety culture and risk control, environmental investments, environmental and climate policy support, citizen engagement, and empowerment.
