TL;DR: In this article, the authors give rigorous definitions of the rebound effect not only in the well described single commodity case, but also for a multiple commodity case and show that the familiar laws for the single case do not hold for the multiple case.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an econometric study dealing with household demand for energy in the Netherlands, and the main objective of the study is to present an estimation of the actual impact of an already implemented energy tax, which was introduced by the Dutch government in 1996.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of interventions aiming to encourage households to reduce energy consumption by changing individual knowledge and perceptions rather than changing contextual factors (i.e., pay-off structure) which may determine households' behavioral decisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the concept of circular economy from the perspective of WCED sustainable development and sustainability science, and conduct a critical analysis of the concept from a perspective of environmental sustainability, identifying six challenges, for example those of thermodynamics and system boundaries, that need to be resolved for CE to contribute to global net sustainability.

TL;DR: Eco-effectiveness and cradle-to-cradle design as mentioned in this paper is an alternative design and production concept to the strategies of zero emission and ecoefficiency, where eco-efficiency and zero emission seek to reduce the unintended negative consequences of processes of production and consumption, while ecoeffectiveness is a positive agenda for the conception and production of goods and services that incorporate social, economic, and environmental benefit.

TL;DR: The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) as mentioned in this paper brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options.
Abstract: The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options. It has been peer-reviewed anonymously by an additional 200 international experts. The GEA assesses the major global challenges for sustainable development and their linkages to energy; the technologies and resources available for providing energy services; future energy systems that address the major challenges; and the policies and other measures that are needed to realize transformational change toward sustainable energy futures. The GEA goes beyond existing studies on energy issues by presenting a comprehensive and integrated analysis of energy chalenges, opportunities and strategies, for developing, industrialized and emerging economies. This volume is a invaluable resource for energy specialists and technologists in all sectors (academia, industry and government) as well as policymakers, development economists and practitioners in international organizations and national governments.
