  • Using labels to support climate-friendly lunch purchases – An in-store study

    Open AccessEbba Engström, Astrid Nilsson Lewis et al.ARTICLECleaner and Responsible Consumption2024

    This study investigates how climate impact information influences consumers’ in-store decision-making. To increase our understanding of consumer behaviour in relation to food choices and environmental impact, further research is needed to explore how consumers act in real-life settings rather than their intended behaviours. We conducted a real-life experiment in a food retail setting, where we studied the impact of carbon footprint labels on cons…

  • Enhancing clean cooking options in peri-urban Kenya

    Open AccessRobert Bailis, Emily Ghosh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Kenya has experienced a decade of relative prosperity with consistent economic growth and minimal political tension. GDP is growing by 3% annually and poverty rates are declining. Despite these gains, Kenya still has a lot of ground to cover to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. SDG7, which aims to ‘Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all’, exemplifies both Kenya’s achievements and the c…

  • Opening the black pot

    Open AccessFiona Lambe, Ylva Ran et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2020Cited by: 2References: 11

    Decades of efforts to replace traditional cooking methods that rely on solid biomass fuels with cleaner-burning and more energy-efficient cookstoves have fallen short of expectations, typically because the new stoves are only used for a short time, or they fail to fully displace the traditional methods. This points to a need to better understand how cookstove users assign value to the new cooking technologies. Recent research has shown that servi…

  • Embracing complexity

    Open AccessFiona Lambe, Ylva Ran et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2019Cited by: 9References: 7

    Many interventions that aim to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable people in low-income settings fail because the behavior of the people intended to benefit is not well understood and /or not reflected in the design of interventions. Methods for understanding and situating human behavior in the context of development interventions tend to emphasize experimental approaches to objectively isolate key drivers of behavior. However, such methods oft…

  • Towards more spatially explicit assessments of virtual water flows

    Open AccessRafaela Flach, Ylva Ran et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Global consumption of farming commodities is an important driver of water demand in regions of production. This is the case in Brazil, which has emerged as one of the main producers of globally traded farming commodities. Traditional methods to assess environmental implications of this demand rely on international trade material flows at country resolution; we argue for the need of finer scales that capture spatial heterogeneity in environmental …
