Has international business travel reached a turning point? Exploring the long-term effects of COVID-19 on air-travel practices in knowledge-intensive organizations Open
In the aftermath of COVID-19, the capability of reducing air travel has been strengthened. However, a belief prevails in industry that business-aviation travel will return to pre-pandemic levels and continue to grow. This article presents …
Social acceptance as a prerequisite for the green transition Open
This report explores the role of social acceptance in driving the green transition across the Nordic countries. The report focuses on two cases: social acceptance of wind power development and fuel taxes and describes the situation in thre…
Pigouvian Tax Aversion and Inequity Aversion in the Lab Open
We use an experimental market with externalities to test whether inequality aversion could help explain the popularity of earmarking tax revenues. We find that voter opposition is not fully explained by material self-interest: Results indi…
The strategic and governance implications of solar radiation modification: perspectives from delegates of international climate negotiations Open
The lack of progress in addressing climate change has led to increased interest in solar radiation modification (SRM)—a collection of large-scale interventions that cool the planet by managing the amount of solar radiation that reaches the…
Can policy packaging help overcome Pigouvian tax aversion? A lab experiment on combining taxes and subsidies Open
Tax aversion makes it politically challenging to introduce Pigouvian taxes. One proposed solution to overcome this resistance is to package policies. Using an online lab experiment, we investigate whether combining a tax and a subsidy is p…
Carbon leakage from aviation under the European Union Fit for 55 policies Open
Carbon leakage is an essential concern in the aviation industry. This study combines an aviation sectoral model with a general equilibrium model to assess the leakage associated with the European Union Fit for 55 policies for aviation. Our…
Can shared autonomous vehicles become a sustainable mode of mobility in the future? Insights from a practice-based study of urban dwellers in Norway Open
Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) represent a rapidly growing technological field with features believed to potentially support the development of more sustainable mobility systems in city regions. To succeed as a sustainable mode of mobil…

A “greenhouse gas balance” for aviation in line with the Paris Agreement Open
The effects of aviation on climate pose unique policy challenges. A large fraction of the CO 2 emissions (65%) is international and not (explicitly) included in the Paris Agreement. The interpretation of Article 4.1 on achieving a “balance…

The power of impact framing and experience for determining acceptable levels of climate change-induced flood risk: a lab experiment Open
This study explores how individuals, when assuming the role of policymakers, determine acceptable levels of risk in response to (a) different framings of flood risk information and (b) after experiencing economic losses from a hypothetical…
Model Validity and Transferability Informing Behavioral Energy Policies Open
A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called behavioral anom…
The role of community sharing in sustainability transformation: case studies from Norway Open
Based on three case studies of community sharing in different sectors of society, we address how and under what conditions community sharing can contribute to sustainability transformation. Considering modes of exchange an leverage points,…

Consumer purchases of energy-efficient cars: How different labelling schemes could affect consumer response to price changes Open
Improved energy efficiency can help reduce pollution, contribute to energy security, and help consumers save money. This paper explores energy labelling schemes as a policy instrument for promoting energy-efficient cars in Spain. Specifica…
Discreet Choice Experiment on car sales in Norway Open
The data is from an online survey administered to a representative population of former and prospective car buyers in Norway. This dataset contains the discrete choice experiment (DCE) data collected as part of the survey, stored in NLogit…
Near- and long-term global warming of current emissions Open
Human activities influence the climate in a range of ways. While emissions of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels is the dominant factor behind the present rapid global warming, many other gases and particles also contribute. These may have s…
The climate impacts of current black carbon and organic carbon emissions Open
In Part 1, we present a summary of recent research into the climate impact of black and organic carbon. There have been many developments on the research front in recent years, and this rapid pace is expected to continue. The strength of t…
Perspective has a strong effect on the calculation of historical contributions to global warming Open
The politically contentious issue of calculating countries’ contributions to climate change is strongly dependent on methodological choices. Different principles can be applied for distributing efforts for reducing human-induced global war…
