The European Energy Network, EnR, has published catalogue of best practices of behaviour change programmes

Across Europe, the transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral future depends not only on technological innovation and policy ambition, but also on the collective choices and daily actions of millions of citizens, communities, and organisations. Behavioural change—guided by insight, supported by evidence, and enabled by policy—remains at the heart of this transformation.

The 2025 edition of the European Energy Network (EnR) Best Practices Catalogue in Behaviour Change reflects this shared European commitment. It captures a diverse range of initiatives from across the continent that demonstrate how understanding human behaviour can accelerate the uptake of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable lifestyles. From household energy use and mobility choices to industrial processes and public engagement, these examples show the power of collaboration between behavioural science, policy design, and citizen participation. This edition also underlines the importance of learning from one another.

By sharing what works, and why, they strengthen Europe’s capacity to act collectively and intelligently. The EnR network continues to serve as a vital platform for exchanging knowledge, harmonising approaches, and scaling behavioural solutions that respect local contexts while advancing shared European goals.

European Energy Network (EⁿR) is a voluntary network of European energy agencies which aims at promoting sustainable energy good and best practice. EⁿR strengthens cooperation between members and key European actors on issues concerning sustainable energy.

EⁿR provides a first point of contact for national energy agencies in EU Member States. EⁿR dedicates its efforts towards joint activities where its unique character provides added value at both a European and individual Member State level.
