Low-Carbon Lifestyles beyond Decarbonisation: Toward a More Creative Use of the Carbon Footprinting Method

Abstract: There is a growing recognition of the urgent need to change citizens’ lifestyles to realise decarbonised societies. Consumption-based accounting (carbon footprinting) is a helpful indicator for measuring the impacts of peoples’ consumption on climate change by capturing both direct and embedded carbon emissions. However, while carbon footprinting can propose impactful behaviour changes to reduce carbon footprints immediately, it may deflect people’s attention from the much needed but time-consuming efforts to … Show more

“…The estimation of individual CFP provides a tangible and comparable indicator of the global impacts of participants' final consumption and lifestyles. This quantification method offers a valuable visualisation for carrying out citizen-participatory experiments and dialogues before engaging participants in formulating mitigation scenarios and concrete action proposals [16].…”

“…Based on the initial methodology and findings, similar workshops and household experiments were conducted in other cities in Japan, aiming to provide action-based inputs to city-level mitigation plans, create educational materials, and encourage collaboration between local governments, businesses, and citizens. Following these experiments, Watabe & Yamabe-Ledoux [16] conducted a qualitative analysis of the use of the carbon footprinting method during 1.5-degree lifestyle workshops to provide participants with a measurable and comparable figure reflecting the level of carbon emissions from their lifestyle, as well as to develop stakeholders' mitigation capacities and engage citizens in participatory policy-making processes.…”
