Transforming Consumption: From Decoupling, to Behavior Change, to System Changes for Sustainable Consumption (2015, background): “As more researchers in the sustainable consumption community have come to share the need for strong sustainable consumption, the issue of how to achieve such changes in a politically, socially and economically viable manner has become a central research topic (78, 79, 82, 83).”
Diversifying and de-growing the circular economy: Radical social transformation in a resource-scarce world (2016, background): “If the CE is to be truly transformative, issues of trust, social capital, power and belonging are integral to any societal step-change (see Fuchs et al., 2015).”
The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints in Europe and its link to sustainability (2020, background): “Important infrastructural, institutional and behavioural lockins (Seto et al., 2016) and powerful forces of highly profitable (fossil fuel) industries (Fuchs et al., 2016; Roberts et al., 2020) constrain the transition to a low-carbon society.”
