Description

Empowering households in resource-efficient sustainability transitions . This project aims to investigate how households can play an active role in system change toward resource-efficiency across energy, water, food and waste. Urban resource inefficiency is a complex and significant problem. Expected outcomes are the first national picture of household resource efficiency, identification of intervention points in context and new policy and service provision pathways. The team also expects to produce a novel transitions conceptual framework. Expected environmental, economic and social benefits will be delivered by working with householders, policy makers, and government and industry stakeholders to identify practical solutions for householders, and knowledge to support policy makers and service providers. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4410 - Sociology. Lead: Prof Jo Lindsay
