Can we trigger radical lifestyle change in sustainable consumption? Exploring motivations, abilities and triggers of dietary changes
Purpose Reducing meat consumption requires significant effort from individuals. Such shifts in diet can be compelling examples of radical lifestyle change. The article explores factors that may trigger radical behavioural change. Decreased meat consumption yields environmental and health advantages; nevertheless, individuals often neglect to adopt this change in their diet. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual model is based on Fogg’s behav…

Crises as incubators of sustainable mobility patterns? Evidence from two shock events
This paper promotes our understanding of how crises accelerate systemic sustainability‐related changes in our transforming societies using the example of mobility. Not only is the magnitude of the mobility carbon footprint large, but its dynamics make reducing it very challenging. Our paper addresses the impact of crises on the transformation of mobility patterns, including short‐distance mobility and holiday tourism. A first study was conducted …
The Grounded Survey – An integrative mixed method for scrutinizing household energy behavior
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 overcome the restrictions of both quantitative and qualitative studies by combining participatory-systems-mapping (PSM) based focus group research with a quanti…
How big is big enough? Toward a sustainable future by examining alternatives to the conventional economic growth paradigm
This study addresses how the sustainability crisis may be overcome by using alternatives to the conventional economic growth paradigm. Based on a literature review, the paper identifies and discusses three alternatives, namely negative, zero and positive economic growth. These alternatives are compared from a feasibility and policy perspective in relation to the transition toward sustainable development. The three alternatives are associated with…
Twenty years of carbon accounting and auditing – a review and outlook
This paper aims to provide an overview of the key themes in the development of carbon accounting and auditing over the past twenty years. The evolution of the field since the Kyoto Agreement of 1997 has been divided into four stages. The need to account for and disclosure of greenhouse gas-related emissions of industrial organizations has emerged parallel to growing concerns about climate change, and international and national policy developments…
Consumer income and its relation to sustainable food consumption – obstacle or opportunity
The consumption of food is associated with significant environmental impacts, and the disposable incomes of individuals and households play an important role in what food is consumed. It may be assumed that the higher the income, the more food consumed. However, it may also be supposed that people with higher incomes are more likely to lead healthier lifestyles and therefore consume more moderately.This analysis is based on food consumption data …
From eco-efficiency to eco-effectiveness? The policy-performance paradox
The internalisation level of sustainability issues varies among topics and among countries. Companies give up less internalised issues for more internalised ones. Discrepancies between legal, market and cultural internalisation lead to different escape strategies: firms develop a high level environmental management system and they have nice sustainability policy and reports. These achievements cover the fact that their total emission keeps increa…
The Mismanagement of Environmental Conflicts
During the Communist regime, companies' conflicts with the public were hidden. The public did not have the right to express their objection. Recent Hungarian law, however, supports people's right to influence decisions that have an impact on their lives, but attitudes change slowly. In this article, I show the typical methods of companies' mismanagement of environmental conflicts. The first part of the article concentrates on strategic issues, an…
