Transition to sustainable development in the UK housing sector: From case study to model implementation
N Bergman,Lorraine Whitmarsh,J Kohler +2 more
- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the notion of systemic change or "transitions" to analyse this sector and implement it as a case study using their previously developed transitions model. And they show that the landscape changes of climate change and rising fuel prices can in themselves lead to a 1/3 reduction in direct CO2 emissions from the residential sector in 2050 relative to 2000, despite countervailing demographic changes.
