Special Issue on

Contributions are expected to cover a diverse array of topics related to new approaches, policies, and methods to encourage behaviour change for energy and carbon reduction, including but not limited to:

• Behaviour change and social practices in energy and environment, including instruments and interventions, multidisciplinary approaches, organisational behaviour solutions, economic assessments, and the scalability, longevity and spillover effects of policy experiments;
• Just and inclusive transition, addressing stakeholder ownership, energy poverty, vulnerable consumers, public participation in policymaking, civil society initiatives, and community engagement;
• Acceptability and ownership of public policies and low-carbon solutions, including technologies, norms, standards and strategies influencing decarbonisation decisions in industry and business;
• Sufficiency in the ecological transition, focusing on enabling infrastructures, social and collective practices, sufficiency-oriented design and production, and public instruments supporting sufficiency at different territorial scales;
• Foresight and scenarios for carbon neutrality, including their influence on decision-making and public action, and the development of positive narratives and imaginaries of transition and sufficiency.
