Cities account for 75% of resource consumption and 80% of CO2 emissions. With rising urbanization, achieving urban sustainability becomes crucial. The Circular Economy (CE) concept has been proposed to reduce resource consumption, although its link to sust ...
The current manufacturing trend is towards sustainability. Due to the degradation of natural resources and the accumulation of waste with an increase in the world population and in the consumption of goods, many countries attempt to switch from a linear to ...
Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less infra ...
Food consumption in Switzerland is the activity with the largest environmental impact, which also contributes significantly to rising health costs. Therefore, it is a crucial societal aim to better understand the drivers and barriers to healthy and sustain ...
We use survey questions about spending in hypothetical scenarios to investigate features of propensities to consume that are useful for distinguishing between consumption theories. We find that (1) responses to unanticipated gains are vastly heterogeneous ...
