The Green Deal is a major new energy policy designed to support the diffusion of efficiency measures in UK homes. This paper provides one first empirical examinations Deal′s success influencing homeowners' renovation decisions. Using repeated design which households were questioned before and after launch January 2013, we assess policy′s raising awareness efficiency. In particular, test effectiveness positioning overcome barriers among homeowners already interested or considering measures....
Understanding homeowners' renovation decisions is essential for policy and business activity to improve the efficiency of owner-occupied housing stock. This paper develops, validates applies a novel modelling framework explaining decisions, with an emphasis on energy-efficiency measures. The tested using quantitative data from nationally-representative survey households in UK (n = 1028). advances formal representations by including background conditions domestic life which renovating...
This paper investigates the potential for consumer-facing innovations to contribute emission reductions limiting warming 1.5 °C. First, we show that global integrated assessment models which characterise transformation pathways consistent with °C mitigation are limited in their ability analyse emergence of novelty energy end-use. Second, introduce concepts disruptive innovation can be usefully applied challenge mitigation. Disruptive low-carbon offer novel value propositions consumers and...
Lifestyle is an integral and inevitable feature of transformation pathways consistent with the Paris Climate Agreement United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Studies differentiating lifestyle types, clusters, or segments vary in their focus, purpose, reach, generalizability availability. Universal frameworks are largely proprietary nature, developed used by market research companies for targeted communication behaviour change strategies. There a need more accessible typology to...
The transition to electric vehicles is an important strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars. Modelling future pathways helps identify critical drivers and uncertainties. Global integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been used extensively analyse climate mitigation policy. IAMs emphasise technological change processes but are largely silent on social behavioural dimensions transitions. Here, we develop a novel conceptual framing empirical evidence base learning...
Abstract Lifestyle change is a fundamental component of transformative pathways to net‐zero emissions. Despite the pervasive use ‘lifestyle’ as concept, there lack convergence on what constitutes lifestyle due contrasting perspectives and approaches within across disciplines. While long tradition research in public health marketing, this does not currently inform low‐carbon research. We review wide range empirical theoretical studies using directed thematic approach. Focusing current...
Abstract Global Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) used to characterise mitigation pathways have very limited or no formal representation of lifestyles and lifestyle change. We demonstrate a novel approach endogenously simulating low-carbon heterogeneity change through soft-coupling with our new empirically-based LIFE model. Coupling global IAMs enables dynamic simulation distinctive contributions targeted strategies. set out the empirical basis model, methodological steps for IAM, show...
Abstract Transitioning to a circular economy (CE) can contribute the achievement of long‐term climate targets. A comprehensive evaluation CE strategies requires macro‐level approach that integrates environmental, social, and economic goals. Policy support, behavioral changes, innovation, new business models play key roles in this transition. Additionally, understanding potential synergies, benefits, trade‐offs associated with these is essential for their effective implementation. This paper...
