  • Comparing and combining theory of planned behavior and dragons of inaction to explain pro-environmental consumption behavior

    Open AccessSarah Gomm, Yann Blumer et al.ARTICLESustainable Production and…2026

    We compare the well-established Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with the more recent Dragons of Inaction Psychological Barriers (DIPB) framework in explaining individuals' propensity to make sustainable consumption choices and explore how the two could be integrated. We use a choice experimental approach to measure pro-environmental consumption propensity across three consumption domains (electronics, clothes, food) and then examine how the two …

  • How psychological and contextual barriers to environmentally sustainable consumption vary across domains

    Open AccessSwen J Kühne, Yann Blumer et al.ARTICLECleaner and Responsible Consumption2026

  • Public support for urban heat resilience

    Open AccessNatalia Borzino, Samuel Chng et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026

    As cities across the globe grapple with rising temperatures, understanding public preferences for urban heat mitigation strategies is vital for building climate-resilient, citizen-centred urban environments .

  • Enhancing social resilience

    Open AccessMijie Li, Natalia Borzino et al.ARTICLECities2025References: 9

    This study introduces an innovative framework for assessing social resilience based on social archetypes, moving beyond traditional methods that often analyse social groups based on socio-economic or socio-demographic factors. By incorporating psychographic dimensions such as individual capacities and perceptions, which are more stable over time than socio-economic or socio-demographic characteristics, our approach aims to identify social archety…

  • Changes in Social Capital during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessMijie Li, Tingting Wu et al.ARTICLENatural Hazards Review2024

    Social capital (SC) is a key factor of social resilience and is crucial for effective crisis response and recovery. The unprecedented levels of social distancing measures during the global Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic limited social interactions and restricted traditional support channels. This has raised the question of whether such measures may have negatively impacted SC. However, few studies have analyzed SC changes over time,…

  • Social resilience indicators for pandemic crises

    Open AccessAnte Busic‐sontic, Renate SchubertARTICLEDisasters2024Cited by: 1References: 73

    Coping and recovery capabilities in disasters depend to a large part on the social resilience of the societies or regions that are hit by the respective disruptions. Prior disaster studies suggest a variety of indicators to assess social resilience in the natural hazard context. This paper discusses whether the most common disaster-related social resilience indicators, including social cohesion and support, can meaningfully capture social resilie…

  • About Ship! Why We Need a “Great Transformation” Klar zur Wende! Warum eine ,,Große Transformation“ notwendig ist

    Renate Schubert, Dirk Messner et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2011

    Unsere kohlenstoffbasierten Energiesysteme und Produktionsprozesse müssen schnell umgestaltet werden, um den Klimawandel abzuwenden. Je länger Entscheidungen hinausgezögert werden, desto teurer werden Klimaschutzmaßnahmen und desto größer wird auch das Ausmaß der Schäden. Doch die Transformation zu einer klimaverträglichen Weltgesellschaft ist notwendig – und machbar. Ein neuer Gesellschaftsvertrag zwischen Staat und Bürgerschaft könnte helfen, e…

Der vorliegende Band enthält die auf dieser Tagung gehaltenen Referate un…
