The final paper from the first phase of the project was published last week in the journal Energy Research & Social Science. The study uses a data from a large representative survey to identify the characteristics of people with high GHG emissions from transport, with a particular focus on those with high emissions from air travel but low emissions from car travel (or vice-versa). We find that there is considerable diversity within the group of high emitters, and that certain factors (such as environmental attitudes) matter less than commonly assumed, while others (e.g., social network dispersion, long-distance commuting) matter more.
