In order to achieve emission reduction targets in the passenger transport sector, demand side and especially mobility behavior of consumers deserve special attention. It is unlikely that such will change without significant political intervention, nor single policy instruments be sufficient induce needed changes. this study, therefore, we analyze design so-called disruptive packages required drastically reduce emissions industrialized countries illustrate it for case Austria. Our research...
Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions has emerged as a crucial challenge for the passenger transport system. We introduce an inter- and transdisciplinary scheme development assessment socially politically feasible policy packages to achieve net-zero illustrate via application EU member state Austria. find mutual disciplinary dependencies well need co-generation between science practice, with varying mix stakeholders disciplines relevant across different steps. Results show that legal...
Transformation to climate neutrality of the transport sector raises multiple challenges at a time, with potentially conflicting objectives and further external effects. This calls for balanced policy package which empirical assessment is needed in order i) quantify its effectiveness ii) reveal effects potential overlaps interactions associated individual measures within package. paper analyses economic, environmental distributional that supports low-carbon passenger Austria, co-developed...
Disruptive policy packages that fundamentally change the current unsustainable passenger transport structures and enable low-carbon mobility transformation are inevitable. This implies use of more stringent multiple restrictive (i.e. push) measures. To successful implementation, public acceptance is critical, but what drives this acceptance? In study, two main hypotheses were tested using survey methods combined a two-group framing with conjoint experiment: (1) The push measures decreases as...
Purpose This paper aims to explore the manoeuvring room of higher education institutions take action reduce emissions from academic flying. In particular, this study investigates how university staff and central actors in management evaluate potential measures area. Design/methodology/approach The authors applied a single case design encompassing an online survey directed at ( N = 338) 11 semi-structured interviews with key Austrian university. used descriptive statistics qualitative content...
Restrictive measures are indispensable to achieving sustainable and low-carbon mobility. At the same time, these often not implemented due concerns that public support will materialize; therefore, they relegated background in debate on policy can be applied change mobility behavior. In this national study ( N = 1,083), we used structural equation modeling (SEM) examine drivers of differences between regulatory economic transport policies. We find policy-specific beliefs and, particular,...
This study addresses climate-friendly behaviors in three different domains, namely, conservation behavior, social climate protection, and citizenship. We tested the effect of psycho-social, cognitive, socio-demographic factors on a quota sample Austrian citizens (n = 499). All types investigated were found to influence at least one type behavior; most effects however small or moderate. The willingness sacrifice existing conveniences turned out be important predictor for all behaviors....
This study aims to explore the factors that influence business travel decisions of university staff, in particular extent and ways which they are willing reduce emission-intensive air travel, personal structural barriers such behavior change. Three strategies were investigated: abstaining from events, substituting through virtual participation mode shifting ground-based public transport. We tested effects (1) specific decision for engaging long-distance choosing modes solutions; (2) former...
Abstract The most recent IPCC report considers Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) as an unavoidable climate change mitigation measure, although controversial discussions about CDR have taken place in the past. This study contributes to ongoing debate by providing insights into academic expert opinions Bioenergy with Capture and Storage (BECCS) Direct Air (DACCS). An online survey was conducted examine how experts ( N = 172) perceive what extent they support BECCS DACCS. Overall, results show...
Abstract Social scientists and psychologists who study environmental issues need to improve their measures capture relevant pro-environmental behaviors reduce greenhouse gas emissions – the main driver of climate change. They also identify meaningful predictors for these behaviors, which go beyond mere statistical significance. In this large representative Austrian population ( N = 1,083), we aim at addressing both issues. We focus on specific energy-related behavioral intentions (traveling,...

The pressure to mitigate climate change and inhibit irreversible changes on the Earth’s system is large. In particular, passenger transportation sector has undergo a radical drastically reduce emissions. This study analyzes telework as tipping intervention move onto low-carbon trajectory. We applied mixed-methods approach using qualitative focus group an online survey, run independent t -tests, importance-satisfaction gap analysis, linear regression. Our results show that willingness conduct...
