| Name | Submitted paper: Low carbon communities as a context for behavioural change |
| Description | This is a paper submitted to a special issue of Energy Policy.
It analyses different types of emerging low-carbon communities as a context for individual behavioural change. The focus is on how these communities offer solutions to problems in previous attempts to change individual behaviour. These problems include social dilemmas, social conventions, socio-technical infrastructures and the helplessness of individuals. We analyse four examples: Manchester is My Planet, Green Office, Carbonarium and Carrotmob.
On the basis of an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of various community solutions, implications are drawn for further research and for the design and support of low-carbon communities. If our paper is accepted, we will have to remove the paper from this site, but we make it available until then. |
