David is interested in issues related to sustainable consumption and how society can change in a more sustainable direction. In his research, he has examined, among other things, the factors that affect households’ emissions of greenhouse gases, the link between well-being and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as rebound effects in the transport sector. In the program, David will participate in work on evaluating sustainable practices as well as investigating citizen engagement on sustainable lifestyles through ICT solutions.

David also runs the Svalna web service (www.svalna.se), which helps users gain understanding of their greenhouse gas emissions by analysing transaction data. Data from Svalna is used in the research program to identify and analyze sustainable lifestyles and as a platform for citizen engagement. David is also one of the founders of the card game Climate Call (www.kortspeletklimatkoll.se)

My research concerns the design and public acceptability of environmental policies, specifically policies related to sustainable food consumption. Methodologically my focus is on experiments.

ejelov@chalmers.se

I am interested in how (intrinsic and extrinsic) values influence our consumption, how resource use in turn affect the environment and how different consumption practices contribute – or not – to well-being. Most of my time is spent working with sustainability related courses at undergraduate and graduate level.

My research is focused on sustainable consumption, circular economy and methods for environmental and sustainability assessments of different types of products and systems. In the program I am the director and also leading a project on sustainable consumption and macro-economic effects.

I hold a PhD in Architecture and currently work as a researcher in sustainability transitions at the division of urban and regional studies at KTH. My research critically examines interpretations (and paradoxes) of sustainability. This includes exploring norm-critical, alternative ways of doing and living as part of transitions to a low-impact society. Within Mistra Sustainable Consumption, my interest is particularly focused on the role of different actors in promoting sustainable consumption, and the potential of policy experiments.

I am a postdoc at KTH working in a research project on similar topics as Mistra Sustainable Consumption, about the climate transition of the Swedish Tourist Association (STF) in their mountain stations without connection to the road network. We study climate measures based on the idea of sufficiency (e.g. changed restaurant concept to avoid helicopter transport of fresh ingredients) with respect to mitigation potential and feasibility. In particular, I am interested in the acceptability of sufficiency measures, their assessment in life cycle assessment (LCA) and potential scalability. In other research I investigate user behavior and rebound effects in circular economy contexts.

My research is about how the consumption patterns can be transformed in order to reach politically set targets, e.g. climate goals. One part is about developing target scenarios with calculations of climate benefits from both technological and behavioral changes. My main research focus is policy analysis, e.g. how they can be designed in order to be both effective in reaching the target and to have sufficient public acceptance. I mainly work with the consumption domains of long-distance travel (air travel) and food consumption. I am deputy program director for the Mistra programme and I am also leading the projects “Policy packages and public support” and “Company targets as a form of sustainable consumption governance”.

My research focuses on sustainable consumption behavior and sustainable business models. Within this field of sustainable consumptoin behaviour I have worked both on marketing/branding, consumer behaviour, nudging, and alternative consumption ideas (sharing, collaborative consumption, cooperatives). My main interest in all of these areas is the individual consumer and how her behaviour can be changed towards higher levels of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Within the field of sustainable business models I am most interested in how niche business models can become mainstream.

Within the Mistra programme I am leading the project “Digitalisation: friends & foes of sustainable consumption?”

I am associate professor of political science. My main research interests concern environmental politics and policy, in particular the origins and (political) solutions of large-scale collective action problems for example climate change and resource depeletion. Theoretically, my research bridges the fields of political science, social- and environmental psychology, and behavioural economics, with a methodological preference for experimental and survey methods.

I am a Research Coordinator in Sustainable Consumption Governance at the International Environment Institute at Lund University, Lund. My main research area is a multidisciplinary evaluation of various measures for changing consumption behavior, such as different consumption policy tools and business models in circular and sharing economies, collaborative production and consumption. Within the Mistra programme I am leading the project “Creating space for change by dispelling myths about sustainable consumption behaviour”.
