The impact of housing characteristics on the consumption-based carbon footprints in the Nordic countries
The impact of low-carbon consumption options on carbon footprints in the Nordic region
Changes in personal consumption play an important role in the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to stay within the 1.5-degree warming carbon footprint budget. Affluent countries have high carbon footprints from a consumptive perspective and therefore have a high potential to reduce emissions from personal consumption. To study this potential, we look at the consumption-based carbon footprints of respondents from a carbon footprint calculator s…
Does Higher Exposure to Green Spaces Lead to Higher Life Satisfaction and Less Leisure Travel? A Case Study of Reykjavík, Iceland
Urban areas have a significant impact on climate change, with transport and mobility as one major source. Furthermore, the impact of urban areas on transport extends beyond their own geographic areas, via leisure travel. Research has suggested several mechanisms through which urban areas drive leisure travel, such as social norms, compensation for what is lacking in the urban environment or for the hectic daily life, and cosmopolitan attitudes, a…
I am not a typical flyer: Narratives About the Justified or Excessive Character of International Flights in a Highly Mobile Society
Reversing the growth pattern in passenger aviation emissions is necessary for climate change mitigation. However, climate-related concerns and norms do not correlate strongly with practices. This study provides an example of a rapid process of social institutionalisation of long-distance travel, which has become a default tool for meeting social expectations and performing social rituals. It draws on 21 in-depth interviews conducted in the Reykja…
Long-Distance Travel and the Urban Environment: Results from a Qualitative Study in Reykjavik
A compact urban form has shown many benefits in efficiency. Yet multiple studies have found that residents of urban, dense, and centrally located areas travel more frequently than those living in suburbs, small towns, or the countryside. As air travel is already causing more emissions than ground transport in many affluent urban locations and is predicted to increase, this pattern could undermine efforts in climate change mitigation. Explanations…
