This book calls for rethinking current climate, energy and
sustainability policy-making by presenting new insights into the
rebound phenomenon; i.e., the driving forces, mechanisms and extent
of rebound effects and potential means of mitigating them. It
pursues an innovative and novel approach to the political and
scientific rebound discourse and hence, supplements the current
state-of-knowledge discussed in the field of energy economics and
recent reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Building on central rebound publications from the past four
decades, this book is divided into three main sections: Part I
highlights new aspects of rebound economics by presenting insights
into issues that have so far not been satisfactorily researched,
such as rebounds in countries of the Global South, rebounds on the
producer-side, and rebounds from sufficiency behaviour (as opposed
to rebounds from technical efficiency improvements). In turn, Part
II goes beyond conventional economic rebound research, exploring
multidisciplinary perspectives on the phenomenon, in particular
from the fields of psychology and sociology. Advancing such
multidisciplinary perspectives delivers a more comprehensive
understanding of rebound's driving forces, mechanisms, and policy
options. Part III puts rebounds into practice and presents several
policy cases and sector-specific approaches, including the contexts
of labour markets, urban planning, tourism, information and
communication technologies, and transport. Lastly, the book embeds
the issue into the larger debate on decoupling, green growth and
degrowth, and identifies key lessons learned for sustainable
development strategies and policies at large. By employing such
varied and in-depth analyses, the book makes an essential
contribution to the discussion of the overall question: Can
resource-, energy-use and greenhouse gas emissions be substantially
reduced without hindering economic growth?
