Mother Earth is dying. Humanity needs to step up. Otherwise, the planet we call home will soon be uninhabitable. The destiny of our planet inarguably depends on consumers, as their choices have the power to turn them into eco‐superheroes (sustainable consumption) or eco‐villains (unsustainable consumption). This article aims to review the current progress of consumption research and propose strategies to inspire consumers to embrace their inner eco‐warrior spirit, fostering sustainable behavior that protects the environment and supports human well‐being. To achieve this, this article employs an integrative approach, merging a meta‐perspective on theoretical development with a multi‐study methodological approach. Harnessing the power of scientometrics, this article delivers meta‐insights from a multi‐study analysis on consumption trends in relation to environmental values (micro‐perspective; Study 1) and planetary health (macro‐perspective; Study 2). These findings pave the way for future research and intervention strategies designed to nurture ecological sustainability and unleash the eco‐warrior in every consumer.

“…Although there is substantial evidence that efficiency labels can have significant effects on consumer behavior, evidence is growing that the details of label design strongly condition their effectiveness. For example, environmental framing can enhance the effectiveness of appliance-efficiency labels in the Philippines, whereas framing in terms of cost savings can reduce effectiveness (Kuhn, Kutzner, and Thøgersen 2022). In India, consumer willingness to pay for higher efficiency labeling was observed for air conditioners, which have more apparent effects on power bills due to seasonal use than refrigerators with continuous usage.…”

Asia in the Global Transition to Net Zero: Asian Development Outlook 2023 Thematic Report

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This report explores what a global transition to net zero could mean for Asia and the Pacific under a range of climate policy scenarios and provides recommendations. Developing Asia faces a climate policy crossroads. The region is highly vulnerable to climate change, even as it is an increasing contributor to the global climate crisis. This report models emission pathways based on commitments and pledges under the Paris Agreement and compares them with more optimal routes to net zero. It examines required transformations in the energy sector and land use and assesses socioeconomic implications. The report looks at policy costs, climate benefits, air quality co-benefits, and labor market outcomes, and discusses policies for an efficient and equitable transition.

Under the dual goals of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutralization, it is of great practical significance to explore the impact of product information labeling on technological innovation. As an essential element in improving energy performance in consumer products, energy-efficiency labels (EEL) have played a vital role in the government’s portfolio of energy-efficiency improvement, technological progress, and carbon emission mitigation. We estimate the extent of the inductive effects of varying patent types on the relationship between the EEL system and technological innovation in a panel differences-in-differences framework based on the panel data of energy-saving patents and electricity-saving patents from 1998 to 2013 in China. Results indicate that the EEL system helps firms improve the ratio of energy-saving and electricity-saving patents to water-saving patents, and the rate of energy-saving and electricity-saving patents to all patents in the region. In another word, the EEL has a significant directed technological inducing effect. As for the role of the heterogeneity of patent types, the positive effects of the EEL system on invention patents are significantly suppressed in patent-for-utility models. Thus, it is suggested to improve the existing EEL system, gradually expand the product coverage of the EEL system, and increase the protection scope of utility model patents for achieving technological progress and sustainable development of society.
