“…Since all of these options lead to CO2 emissions, total CO2 savings may be less than anticipated. Indeed, in some instances, emissions may increase -a phenomenon known as 'backfire' (Druckman et al, 2011). More broadly, there is some literature suggesting that some of the groups that are more likely to travel with active modes are also more likely to fly, e.g.…”

“…Also, I have not seen a controlled empirical study on the indirect rebound effects on CO2 emissions of a mode shift to active travel (causation). Druckman et al (Druckman et al, 2011) derived a best estimate of the rebound effect of mode shift to active travel at about 25% (so only 75% of the direct transport cost savings would materialise if other activities were taken into account). Yet this was based on assumptions on what could happen, but not what did happen.…”

Active travel (walking, cycling or scooting for transport) is considered a healthy and sustainable form of getting from A to B. The net effects of active travel on mobility-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are complex and remarkably under-researched across a wide range of settings. This paper seeks to provide a summary of research on active travel as a low carbon mobility option in context of the climate emergency. Key gaps are identified and discussed. The paper concludes with a projection of future research.

“…Current assessments tend to focus on individual S-BMs (e.g. Goedkoop et al, 1999;Lindahl et al, 2014), and thus neglect rebound effects, the extent of substitution of existing resources, and the impacts of associated BMs (Druckman et al, 2012). This part of the research agenda is as much a methodological question as it is one about actual impacts.…”

“…First, unless a S-BM uses resources already available in the system (as for example carpooling does), it comes with additional material and energy use (dI): new cars and bikes are introduced into the system. Second, S-BM may have rebound effects(Druckman et al, 2012), whenever the associated behavioural change and cost savings lead to additional consumption (iI). For platform-based S-BM, this includes any additional consumption that results from the marketing which is generated through the private data collected and sold to other firms.…”

The fragmented academic literature on sharing modes of provision deals with a diversity of initiatives ranging from for-profit business models to commoning initiatives. This literature mainly deals with individual instances, implicitly assuming that the sharing economy comes about by multiplying such initiatives. In this paper we argue that the transition to a sharing economy is a process where sharing and non-sharing modes of provision interact, constituting a complex process of social change. To facilitate research, we provide a literature review of the variegated literature, and develop a conceptualisation of the process of transition to a sharing economy using ecosystem thinking. In addition, we propose an approach to assess the environmental impact of sharing business models that takes the system context into account.This conceptual work is illustrated with the case of personal mobility. This work allows us to define a focused research agenda for researchers interested in the innovation and diffusion of sharing modes of provision as part of the wider transition to a sharing economy.

Climate change is today one of the greatest challenges of the global community. Further economic growth is often advocated as a solution to any problem of environmental degradation, after an intermediate phase of higher environmental degradation, because of the previous steps of the economic growth. This proposal is embodied in the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, which is based on the original Kutznets thesis concerning income inequality issues. The EKC hypothesis has been tested on various forms of pollution, but the results remain today rather inconclusive. What is more, the EKC hypothesis seems to be rejected when it comes to CO 2 emissions, which are considered as a global indicator of environmental degradation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among a country's economic structure, its energy consumption and its CO 2 emissions, using appropriate econometric tools. In addition, the specific relationships among the variables of per capita electricity consumption, per capita CO 2 emissions and per capita final consumption expenditure, when an exogenous explanatory variable representing climatic and geographical features enters the system as an exogenous explanatory variable are investigated. The obtained results show that the hypothesis that countries follow a common pattern over time is rejected. The CO 2 emissions per capita do not depend unilaterally on changes in per capita income. Contrary, the changes in per capita CO 2 emissions depend on the direction of changes in both the variables of per capita energy use and per capita income. In addition, there is a significant influence of climatic and geographic parameters on per capita energy use and on per capita CO 2 emissions produced in each country. v vi
