| Abstract |
A global effort is currently underway to combat climate change and adopt actions for a sustainable low carbon future. Energy and Behaviour: Towards a Low Carbon Future presents an international and multifaceted approach to understanding the interface of people and energy, which involves both engaging people in the energy system and changing the energy system to better accommodate people’s needs. This introduction focuses on the moving target of what low-carbon energy behaviours are and could be, not just in European countries but worldwide. It sets the scene for the book by providing a brief review of energy and behaviour research and defining what the editors hope to achieve in the book. Next, it delivers a guided tour of the chapters. Finally, it concludes with a call for action to move beyond the conventional boundaries of energy and behaviour research. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
