Sustainable energy policy and tackling climate-change-related issues require exploring energy consumption patterns. This paper proposes an integrative methodological approach called grounded survey for understanding behavioral factors behind household energy consumption. The study aims to...

Reducing our final energy demand from fossil fuels is a necessary condition for establishing a more sustainable energy system across the EU. Moreover, it may offer multiple dividends by simultaneously mitigating problems with energy dependency, excessive greenhouse gas emissions, and improving...

Living a happy and satisfied life while staying within ecological limits of Earth is a challenge humanity must face during this century. As spirituality impacts our lives in both material and non-material ways, we may reasonably suppose that spiritual beliefs also have an impact on how one...

Consumer policy approaches regarding green products and solutions can be differentiated by their main focus. “Green positioning” is basically targeted at environmentally aware consumers, while “efficiency-focused positioning” concentrates on the efficiency gain of the product or...

Consumer policy approaches regarding green products and solutions can be differentiated by their main focus. “Green positioning” is basically targeted at environmentally aware consumers, while “efficiency-focused positioning” concentrates on the efficiency gain of the product or...

Preceding research has made hardly any attempt to measure the ecological impacts of pro-environmental behaviour in an objective way. Those impacts were rather supposed or calculated. The research described herein scrutinized the ecological impact reductions achieved through pro-environmental...

A fokozódó globális kereskedelem és klímaváltozás korában az üvegházhatású gázok elszámolásakor rendkívüli jelentőségű a nemzetközi kereskedelem hatásának figyelembevétele. A fejlett országokban az importált termékek növekvő fogyasztása következtében szétválik a...

Environmental consequences of international trade are quite relevant for climate change policy. Apparent decoupling of GHG emission and GDP growth, observed in several European countries, is partly due to the increasing dislocation of manufacturing industries from the developed world to emerging...
