• W86820019 abstract "Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions need to be reduced to around a third of the currentlevel before 2050 and approach zero at the end of the century if we are likely to reach the twodegreetarget. Sweden has sometimes been promoted as a model for the transition towardssustainable emission levels, with reductions of 20 percent between 1990 and 2012, but whenembedded emissions from imported goods are accounted for (and exports are excluded) thedevelopment instead show an increase by at least 15 percent between 1993 and 2010. Theefficiency improvements have been more that counterbalanced by increasing consumptionlevels. Hence a successful fulfillment of the two-degree climate target probably requiresaction that goes beyond eco-efficiency, by also considering lifestyles and consumptionpatterns. In this thesis we have combined different theoretical approaches to analyzeindividuals’ conditions, lifestyles, well-being and values with respect to their GHG emissions.The first paper analyzes which factors are important to determine individuals’ GHGemissions. Socio-economic, physical and motivational factors are often considered in separateacademic disciplines, and our aim is to provide a better understanding of their absolute andrelative importance to households’ GHG emissions. We found that net income was the mostimportant variable to explain variance in GHG emissions, followed by the physical variablesdwelling type and geographical distances to work and other functions. Motivational factorssuch as pro-environmental attitudes and norms also affected GHG emissions but to a lesserextent, but some considerations limit the generalizability of these results.The second paper examines the relationship between individuals’ subjective well-being andGHG emissions from consumption. Our results suggest that there is no strong correlationbetween overall GHG emissions and subjective well-being, and that GHG intensive activitieshave a low importance for subjective well-being, when compared to social factors such asspending time with friends and family, having a job and being healthy. We also analyzecertain behaviors and underlying factors that have been proposed to imply double dividends,and find some tentative confirmation that materialism is related to both lower subjective wellbeingand higher GHG emissions.In the third paper we continue the analysis of materialists’ consumption related GHGemissions, and their concern for the environment. We find no difference between materialistsand others with respect to their concern for the environment, but the materialist group emitsabout 1 ton more GHG emissions per capita and year than the non-materialist group.Somewhat surprisingly, air travel accounts for around two thirds of this difference. Takentogether with other results presented in the paper, it seems materialists’ concern for increasedstatus is not specifically expressed through the acquisition of material possessions, and wequestion the established definition of materialism." @default.
