Fifth Annual Sustainability and Circular Economy Summit

The package includes the much-awaited detailed rules under the Taxonomy Regulation relating to climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. Some sections in the draft rules are missing from the final rules and there is a new timeline for further work.
Final amendments to existing rules under the Solvency II Directive, the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD), MiFID II, the UCITS Directive and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), to incorporate sustainability considerations, are included in the package.

Green consumption has become an important academic and practical topic. However, a recurring theme in the literature has been the attitude‐behavior gap in green consumption. Taking the cognitive view in studying consumer behaviors, this study theoretically developed and tested two key moderators to the relationship between green consumption intention and behavior, namely green product availability and perceived consumer effectiveness. Under high levels of the moderators, the relationship between the intention and the behavior were hypothesized to be stronger.
