Life cycle analysis (LCA) has been used worldwide to guide innovation improving performance actions of and in production systems directed to the environmental sustainability. However, even with the wide dissemination of LCA internationally, the tool is still not very well known and applied in...

Sustainability is indeed one of the most significant challenges facing the world today, driven by a multitude of interconnected issues, including climate change, social inequality, and environmental degradation. In response to these challenges, various stakeholders, including policymakers,...

This paper investigates whether new health information affects smoking behavior. Interpreting three distinct categories of health events as different information, the paper also tests whether behavioral change depends on the type of information received. Based on retrospectively reported data on...

Most policy instruments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have focused on producers, and on the energy efficiency of buildings, vehicles and other products. Behavioural changes related to climate change also impact ‘in-use’ emissions, and potentially, emissions both ‘upstream’...

Can Attribution Science, a method for quantifying - ex post - humanity's contribution to adverse climatic events, induce pro-environmental behavioral change? We conduct a conceptual test of this question by studying, in an online experiment with 3,031 participants, whether backwards-looking...
