Global Action Plan has amassed almost fifteen year's practical experience enabling individuals and organisations to change their behaviour. This experience underpins all our research, and provides proven evidence that carefully structured behaviour change projects can have significant environmental, financial and social benefits.

Our Reports

2007

'An Inefficient Truth'  
An Inefficient Truth is the first research report produced by Global Action Plan on behalf of the Environmental IT Leadership Team.  The Leadership Team is a unique gathering of major ICT users from a range of different sectors who are committed to taking practical action to cut carbon dioxide emissions. 
The report contains four sections:
1. The first section assesses the environmental impact of the ICT sector which is virtually the equivalent of the aviation industry.
2. Section two analyses survey results from major ICT users and discovers how quickly and effectively the sector is responding to the environmental agenda.
3. The third section takes a snapshot look at some case studies illustrating how companies are implementing practical solutions that are reducing carbon emissions and saving them money.
4. Finally, there is a Call to Action from Global Action Plan setting out some of the challenges facing Government, vendors and users in order to move the sector towards a lower carbon future.
An Inefficient Truth is the first part of a longer journey which will see Global Action Plan using its position as an independent practical environmental charity to help cut carbon emissions from the ICT sector.

'Changing Environmental Behaviour: A review of evidence from Global Action Plan'
This report shows that people are willing to take practical steps to fight climate change, but more Government leadership and support is needed to create significant change.
 
Based on 14 years of practical experience, Global Action Plan has proven evidence that carefully structured behaviour change projects can have significant environmental, financial and social benefits.
 
The environmental charity urges Government to provide support and resources to encourage people change their behaviour.

'Consuming Passion: Do we have to shop until we drop?'
Global Action Plan believes improved sustainable consumption can be achieved if people are given sufficient time, space and support to make practical changes in their daily lives. We also believe the urgency of the task demands renewed, radical action now, not in another 10 years.
