Energy requirements for securing wellbeing in Switzerland and the space for affluence and inequality
Joel Millward-Hopkins, Vivien Fisch-Romito, Sascha Nick and Emile Chevrel
This paper shows how, with a fairer distribution of energy, Switzerland could dramatically reduce energy consumption while securing wellbeing for all. The authors estimate that decent living energy (DLE) in 2050 would only represent 13% of Switzerland's 2019 consumption.
Investigation into Teleworking and its Relationships with Gender, Mobility, and Paid-Work-Life Balance
Jana Z'Rotz, Timo Ohnmacht and Patrick Rérat
This paper addresses gender differences in dealing with teleworking and their effects on everyday mobility by means of a cross-sectional survey. The results show gender-based differences in dealing with teleworking, attitudes to it and the use of time saved by not commuting.
Sector Coupling for Energy Communities: Synergies between Mobility and Heating Services
Cédric Terrier, Eduardo Antonio Pina, Dorsan Lepour and François Maréchal
Sector coupling is a central element for enhancing energy efficiency in urban areas. This paper aims to illustrate the sector coupling among an energy community, electric vehicle (EV), and an industrial site supplying waste heat.
We have to talk about overconsumption (in three different ways)
Joel Millward-Hopkins and Vivien Fisch-Romito
This article suggests three definitions for the concept of overconsumption, at individual, social, and planetary scales. These definitions can be used to determine thresholds beyond which consumption becomes useless, unfair, or unsustainable.
