Summary
Tackling climate change requires changes to daily life in mobility, food, homes and energy domains. Digitalisation is a major trend reshaping daily life across all these domains. The digitalisation of daily life and its impact on resource consumption and emissions has not been studied systematically. A Tackling climate change requires changes to daily life in mobility, food, homes and energy domains. Digitalisation is a major trend reshaping daily life across all these domains. The digitalisation of daily life and its impact on resource consumption and emissions has not been studied systematically. A new integrated science is needed on digitalised daily life and climate change. This new field should look across domains at generalisable mechanisms, enabling conditions and steering strategies so digitalisation helps not hinders climate action. The aim of the iDODDLE project is to develop a new thematic, cross-domain, inter-disciplinary science of digitalised daily life in support of action on climate change. iDODDLE's research activities are organised in three work packages on people (micro-level), system conditions (macro-level) and action (policy and practice), drawing on two major new cross-cutting sources of primary data collection - a sample of 80 living lab households, and a longitudinal online survey panel of 6,000 respondents in UK, Sweden and Spain. iDODDLE will: (1) understand the ways in which digitalised daily life impacts climate change, including substituting physical for digital, accessing services instead of owning goods, and integrating households into supply networks; (2) determine the conditions under which digitalised daily life has beneficial or adverse impacts on climate change, including access to infrastructure, trust and power, and technophile lifestyles; (3) develop an evidence-based programme of action for ensuring digitalised daily life helps tackle climate change, including quantitative systems analysis of energy and material flows.
