ORSI: Towards Eco-Welfare State: Orchestrating for Systemic Impact (2019–2023)
ORSI investigates fair and robust methods to make Finland environmentally sustainable, by ORCHESTRATING TOGETHER with decision makers, citizens and businesses.
In the Aalto team, we investigate how private consumption needs to change, focusing on the development and use of indicators and tools such as footprint calculators. Our goal is to broaden the use of footprint data in the development products and services, for supporting changes in everyday life. In concrete terms, we examine carbon footprint calculators and personal carbon budgeting tools such as Sitoumus2050 and experiments that promote everyday changes such as the international Sustainable Lifestyles Accelerator project. We also develop new tools for governing sustainable consumption.
