Environmental policy mixes have a high potential, but must be handled with care
Implementing different interventions with the same goal simultaneously is required to induce green behaviour and, thus, tackle climate change. Combining nudges and monetary incentives is most effective in making decisions greener.
On average, policy mixes effectively promote pro-environmental behaviour.
The effectiveness of such policy mixes depends on the regulated environmental behaviour. Stimulating energy conservation appears to profit most from policy mixes.
