There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting sufficiency as an inevitable strategy for mitigating climate change. Despite this, plays minor role in existing and energy policies. Following previous work on the National Energy Climate Plans EU countries, we conduct similar content analysis recommendations made by citizen assemblies change mitigation ten European countries EU, compare results these studies. Citizen are representative mini-publics enjoy high level legitimacy. We...
The ambition to reach climate-neutral energy systems requires profound transitions. Various scenario studies exist which present different options that goal. In this paper, key strategies for the transition climate neutrality in Germany are identified through a meta-analysis of published studies, including scenarios achieve at least 95 % greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2050 compared 1990. Reduction demand, an expansion domestic wind and solar energy, increased use biomass as well...
Abstract A detailed assessment of a low energy demand, 1.5 ∘ C compatible pathway is provided for Europe from bottom-up, country scale modelling perspective. The level detail enables clear representation the potential sufficiency measures. Results show that by 2050, 50% final demand reduction compared to 2019 possible in Europe, with at least 40% it attributable various measures across all sectors. This 77% renewable share 2040 and 100% very limited need imports outside no carbon...
Abstract The standard response to the shortage of housing across political spectrum is build new units. From an environmental perspective, there a need decarbonise sector as quickly possible and reduce land resource consumption. This contradiction could be resolved by making more efficient use dwellings that are under-occupied (for example, after children have moved out). In this article, we analyse theoretical potential living space. To end, established occupancy regulations Swiss...
Sufficiency as a term and research field has gained increased attention in recent years. The evolving literature demonstrates various understandings of sufficiency: thought from the concept consumption corridors, it is way to mitigate climate change but also more general approach reach dimensions ecological socio-economic sustainability well-being for all. In relation potential that sufficiency seems have simultaneously alleviating problems societies are facing, been represented surprisingly...
