Abstract
The amount of droughts, hurricanes, desertification and floods are rapidly increasing in today’s world. These are direct consequences of climate change. To reach the goals of the Paris agreement of 2015, worldwide change is needed. But how can you make this change, how do you encourage people, specifically young adults, to act environmentally friendly? This research aimed to answer this question, but then for the young adults in a specific municipality, within a specific project. The research question to which an answer is found in this research is: ‘How is the willingness to participate and how to increase this participation in the age group of 18 to 25-year-old residents in the municipality Bergen on the ‘VerduurSAMEN2030’ project, explicitly the energy-saving part, small-scale generation and innovation?’. With the help of the literature review and a survey, the data was gathered. A total of 142 participants filled in the survey, making the study significant. The gathered data was not only stated but and also analysed in the results, to eventually come up with the conclusion, followed by recommendations. The willingness to participate by 18 to 25-year-olds in the municipality Bergen to take big measurements was found to existing for the majority of the partipants, whilst for taking small measurements and actually changing behavior to be more environmentally friendly the willingness is only there for the minority of the participants. To be able increase this participation, more understandable information should be spread, change should be affordable or profitable and more initiatives to get young adults interested in de topic of energy are needed.
