Principles for a post-growth scenario of ambitious mitigation and high human well-being
Understanding pedestrian dynamics using machine learning with real-time urban sensors
Quantifying, understanding and predicting the number of pedestrians that are likely be present in a particular place and time (‘footfall’) is critical for many academic, business and policy questions. However, limited data availability and complexities in the behaviour of the underlying pedestrian ‘system’ make it extremely difficult to accurately model footfall. This paper presents a machine learning model that is trained on a combination of hou…

An Agent-Based Model of the 2020 International Policy Diffusion in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic with Particle Filter
Global problems, such as pandemics and climate change, require rapid international coordination and diffusion of policy.These phenomena are rare however, with one notable example being the international policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.Here we build an agent-based model of this rapid policy diffusion, where countries constitute the agents and with the principal mechanism for diffusion being peer mimicry.Since it is challengi…

Luxury-focused carbon taxation improves fairness of climate policy
Equitable climate policies are required for a just and rapid energy transition. A widely discussed climate policy instrument is carbon taxes. Previous studies of the distributional implications of carbon taxation focused on uniform carbon taxes across sectors. Differentiated tax rates across goods and services received less attention. Here we model an alternative carbon tax design accounting for the distribution of household consumption and carbo…
Fair’ inequality, consumption and climate mitigation
Economic inequality and climate change are pressing issues that have climbed high up the political agenda, yet action to mitigate both remains slow. As income is a key determinant of ecological impacts, the Global North—and wealthier classes elsewhere—are the primary drivers of global carbon emissions, while the least well off have contributed the least yet are set to be hit hardest by climate impacts. These inequalities are clearly unjust, but t…
Large inequality in international and intranational energy footprints between income groups and across consumption categories
Providing decent living with minimum energy
It is increasingly clear that averting ecological breakdown will require drastic changes to contemporary human society and the global economy embedded within it. On the other hand, the basic material needs of billions of people across the planet remain unmet. Here, we develop a simple, bottom-up model to estimate a practical minimal threshold for the final energy consumption required to provide decent material livings to the entire global populat…
