Who emits most? Associations between socio-economic factors and UK households' home energy, transport, indirect and total CO2 emissions (2013, background): “DEFRA (2008) found that female headed households had higher direct CO2 emissions than male headed households whilst Brand and Preston (2010) did not find a significant difference between men and women's transport CO2 emissions.”
Who bears the brunt? Distributional effects of climate change mitigation policies (2011, background): “Households with ‘economically inactive’8 representatives (for example lone parents, unemployed people or pensioners) are also generally estimated to have low emissions (Brand and Preston, 2010; Druckman and Jackson, 2008).”
Why sustainable transport policies will fail: EU climate policy in the light of transport taboos (2014, background): “In the UK, 61% of overall personal (non-business) transport emissions are produced by just 20% of the population, with air travel over comparably long distances being the dominant contributor (Brand and Preston, 2010).”
