Consumer purchases of energy-efficient cars: How different labelling schemes could affect consumer response to price changes
(Energy Policy, 2020)Improved energy efficiency can help reduce pollution, contribute to energy security, and help consumers save money. This paper explores energy labelling schemes as a policy instrument for promoting energy-efficient cars ... -
Consumers’ preferences regarding energy efficiency: a qualitative analysis based on the household and services sectors in Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)Informational failures frequently lead consumers to make non-optimal energy-efficient purchasing decisions. Energy efficiency labels seek to influence consumer behaviour at the point of sale by reducing informational ... -
Contribution of the land sector to a 1.5 °C world
(Nature Climate Change, 2019)The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector ... -
Convergence and divergence in science and practice of urban and rural forest restoration
