Lifestyle 2.0

The economic crisis that we are experiencing in Europe has brought to the forefront numerous issues, particularly with regard to standards of living or present attitudes towards the environment, food waste, poverty, culture, etc. Many people are coming to realise that some of our most “common” practices are in fact unsustainable and damaging to local environments, in all contexts (social, ecological, economic, etc.).

En savoir plus
As a result, communities across Europe are taking the initiative and undergoing - major and minor – lifestyle changes, whereby new, more sustainable approaches to everyday living are replacing processes that are harming society. Throughout the continent, local movements are emerging in what could be described as a case of “out with the old, and in with the new!”

In this particular section, we can see a diversity of ways in which civil society, with or without the aid of public authorities, is working to create once more a lifestyle that fosters environments that are healthy, community-oriented, participative, diverse, and much more besides.

Below are listed the different examples of ACTIONS (in orange) and POLICIES (in green) that work towards building a Lifestyle 2.0.
