At the heart of transition research lies question how to “scale up” sustainable alternatives from a protected niche creation mainstream practices.While upscaling processes are often seen as an essential element that contributes societal transformation, itself remains fuzzy concept.We argue some fundamental dilemmas can be identified, for example, different understanding concept by researchers and practitioners. The should addressed in more reflexive way those worlds science practice who...
Quantitative environmental assessments are crucial in working effectively towards sustainable production and consumption patterns. Over the last decades, life cycle (LCA) have been established as a viable means of measuring impacts products along supply chain. In regard to user patterns, however, methodological weaknesses reported and, several attempts made improve LCA accordingly, for example, by including higher order effects behavioural science support. discussion such approaches, we show...
The information and communication technology sector reportedly has a relevant impact on the environment. Within this sector, video streaming been identified as major driver of CO2-emissions. To make more sustainable, environmentally factors must be both user provider side. Hence, environmental assessments, like life cycle assessments (LCA), need to broaden their perspective from mere technological one that includes decisions behavior. However, quantitative data behavior (e.g. duration,...
To date, the circular economy has fallen short of its promise to reduce our resource demand and transform production consumption system. One key problem is lack understanding that highly promising strategies such as refuse, rethink, can be properly addressed using research on sufficiency. This article argues a shift in focus required policy development from consumers who buy handle circularly designed products patterns follow logic sufficiency explain how sufficiency-oriented concepts...
In the face of growing popularity eco-feedback innovations, recent studies draw attention to relevance human factor for a more effective design eco-feedback. This paper explores these challenges deeply by employing mixed methods approach. We provide in-situ insights from Living Lab experiment on effect smart home systems and traffic light feedback heating energy consumption in private households. Our results an interrupted time series analysis logged data indoor room temperature, CO2...
