This is a study focusing on Victorian concession holders’ use of utilities (energy and water), produced by the Department of Health. It is noteworthy for this blog as having a significant focus on the impacts of energy prices, and thus climate change exposure of low-income households. There is a lot of data, and full technical / social scientific details available.

Greenlight report 2008
Posted by stefankaufmans on August 23, 2008
The Greenlight report is a review of the attitudes and behaviour of Victorian’s towards the environment and sustainability, with a particular focus on household and transport behaviours. Running for the first time in 2008, and planned to run annually, it has the potential to mirror the NSW ‘Who Cares Study’ over time. Unlike that report, it does not (yet?) cover indications of the level of knowledge and understanding, nor as wide a range of behaviours and civic participation. It has largely been produced by Sustainability Victoria with the support of the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
