The review argues that creative and culturally resonant communication strategies are essential for driving behavioral change toward a cleaner society.
What influences public support for plastic waste control policies and green consumption? Evidence from a multilevel analysis of survey data from 27 European countries
This multi-country survey across 27 European nations found that media use and country-level factors shape citizens' support for plastic waste policy and green consumption. People who consumed environmental news from diverse media sources were more likely to support plastic reduction policies and adopt green behaviors. The findings have implications for designing effective public communication strategies about plastic pollution.
