The relational dimensions of renovation: Implications for retrofit policy

Elizabeth Bolton et al.

Summary: Retrofitting the UK's housing stock is crucial for fulfilling the climate commitments, but there have been weaknesses in policy drafting and implementation that hinder progress. Our research examines the broader dynamics underlying decision-making in households and identifies the influence of social relations on home renovations. We conducted semi-structured interviews with homeowners in Otley, West Yorkshire, and found that dynamic relationships with family, friends, tradespeople, gender, and money shape the motivations and goals of home renovations. Our findings shed light on interventions that target homeowners who can afford retrofitting and emphasize the importance of trust-building with tradespeople, understanding different social groups' relationships with homes, and recognizing the evolving role of the home over time.

Low carbon system innovation through an energy justice lens: Exploring domestic heat pump adoption with direct load control in the United Kingdom

Philippa Calver et al.

Summary: This study examines the holistic outcomes of implementing demand-side response on domestic heat pumps through exploring participants' lived experiences. Key aspects such as choice, consent, cost, comfort, disruption, and control are highlighted. To reduce energy injustices, project designers need to collaborate with end users to optimize benefits for households and the electricity system.

Two Scenarios for Sustainable Welfare: A Framework for an Eco-Social Contract

Ian Gough

Summary: More countries are committing to zero net carbon emissions by 2050, but they have yet to confront the transformative changes in economies, societies, and lifestyles that this entails. This article examines two scenarios for a fair transition to net zero, focusing on climate change and its implications for welfare states. The first scenario is the Green New Deal framework combined with a social guarantee, which involves expanding public provision of essential goods and services. The second scenario goes further by establishing a sufficiency economy with limits on income, wealth, and consumption, necessitating increased state capacities and welfare state interventions.

Exploring the Health Impacts and Inequalities of the New Way of Working Findings From a Cross-Sectional Study

Melda Lois Griffiths et al.

Summary: The study explores the perceptions of the health impacts of working from home among the working population in Wales. Findings indicate that a significant number of individuals experienced worsened mental well-being and loneliness when working from home. In addition, those in poorer health saw negative effects on their diets, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use. Factors such as deprivation, atypical employment, and precarious income affected the ability to work from home. Nonetheless, a majority expressed the desire to work from home to some extent.

Universal Digital Twin - the impact of heat pumps on social inequality

Thomas Savage et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using heat pumps for domestic heating on fuel poverty and social inequality. The findings suggest that while heat pumps can reduce emissions, they may increase fuel costs, exacerbating social inequality. The study highlights the need for policymakers to choose between investing in the most effective use of heat pumps and addressing social inequality.

Air Travel and Urbanity: The Role of Migration, Social Networks, Airport Accessibility, and 'Rebound'

Giulio Mattioli et al.

Summary: Residents in urban cores have higher levels of long-distance travel and emissions due to more frequent air travel. Factors such as airport accessibility, migration background, and social network dispersion may contribute to this association, while proximity to town centers remains linked to higher emissions for urban residents. The study suggests potential challenges to urban densification strategies and emphasizes the importance of understanding these factors for climate policy.

Demand response and energy justice: A critical overview of ethical risks and opportunities within digital, decentralised, and decarbonised futures

Philippa Calver et al.

Summary: The transition to a digital, decarbonised, and decentralised energy system presents risks and opportunities for domestic consumers. Domestic 'demand-side response' (DSR) can have varied and uneven consumer outcomes, impacting energy justice. Further empirical research is needed to understand how DSR can contribute to energy justice and mitigate potential risks.

Characterizing the energy use of disabled people in the European Union towards inclusion in the energy transition

Diana Ivanova et al.

Summary: Ivanova and Middlemiss analyze the energy use of disabled households in the European Union, finding that on average they consume less energy and are more likely to experience energy poverty. It is important to pay more attention to the needs of disabled households to ensure a just energy transition.

Deliberative democracy and environmental justice: evaluating the role of citizens' juries in urban climate governance

Amy Ross et al.

Summary: Understanding mechanisms of policy engagement and the participation of different actors in urban climate governance is crucial for ensuring that inequalities are not exacerbated by climate action. Citizens' juries can serve as a valuable deliberative democracy tool in this context, helping to achieve representation justice in decision-making spaces through careful consideration of power differentials and the facilitation of participatory parity.

Identifying double energy vulnerability: A systematic and narrative review of groups at-risk of energy and transport poverty in the global north

Neil Simcock et al.

Summary: The concept of 'double energy vulnerability' refers to the heightened risk of energy poverty and transport poverty simultaneously. This paper reviews academic literature to identify socio-demographic and spatial factors that contribute to this vulnerability. Findings show that certain groups such as low-income individuals, older people, households with dependents, people with health conditions or disabilities, women, and ethnic minorities are more vulnerable, while urban areas are more at risk for energy poverty and suburban areas for transport poverty, with rural areas showing the greatest vulnerability overlap.

Social license to automate: A critical review of emerging approaches to electricity demand management

Sophie Adams et al.

Summary: This paper explores the importance of obtaining a "social license" in DSM programs and its significance in understanding public concerns regarding energy policy. We propose three analytical perspectives: potential frictions between demand flexibility and social practices, the influence of users' engagement on their sense of control and agency, and the ways users may participate in programs as collectives rather than individuals.

Trends in air travel inequality in the UK: From the few to the many?

Milena Buchs et al.

Summary: In the UK, inequality in air travel participation is driven by richer, highly educated, and urban households. While disadvantaged groups have contributed to the growth of air travel in the past two decades, they are less likely to be impacted by air travel demand management policies due to the high level of inequality that still exists.

Temporality, consumption, and conflict: exploring user-based injustices in European low-carbon transitions

Mari Martiskainen et al.

Summary: The urgency of climate change calls for rapid and fair low-carbon transitions in large socio-technical systems. User involvement is crucial in these transitions, but previous research often overlooks the negative roles users may play. This study examines how users can perpetuate injustices within low-carbon transitions by analyzing empirical data from Germany, Norway, and Great Britain.
