SUMMARY:Demand-side solutions to climate change mitigation consistent with
  high levels of well-being - Prof Dr Felix Creutzig

DESCRIPTION:Mitigation solutions are often evaluated in terms of costs and
  greenhouse gas reduction potentials\, missing out on the consideration of
  direct effects on human well-being. \nHere\, we systematically assess the
  mitigation potential of demand-side options categorized into avoid\, shif
 t and improve\, and their human well-being links. We show that these optio
 ns\, bridging socio-behavioural\, infrastructural and technological domain
 s\, can reduce counterfactual sectoral emissions by 40–80% in end-use se
 ctors. Based on expert judgement and an extensive literature database\, we
  evaluate 306 combinations of well-being outcomes and demand-side option
 s\, finding largely beneficial effects in improvement in well-being (79% p
 ositive\, 18% neutral and 3% negative)\, even though we find low confidenc
 e on the social dimensions of well-being. Implementing such nuanced soluti
 ons is based axiomatically on an understanding of malleable rather than fi
 xed preferences\, and procedurally on changing infrastructures and choice 
 architectures. Results demonstrate the high mitigation potential of demand
 -side mitigation options that are synergistic with well-being.
