Summary: The household sector plays a significant role in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, yet previous studies have mostly focused on estimating carbon footprints solely based on household expenditures, neglecting the influence of daily activity time. This study integrates household time-use patterns with expenditure data from Japan to estimate the carbon footprint and GHG intensity of 85 daily household activities. The results reveal the potential for significant carbon mitigation in activities with high GHG intensity of time, such as cooking, bathing, and mobility-related activities, as well as the need for mitigation strategies on a weekly scale due to higher average daily GHG emissions on weekends.

Summary: The study found that the explanatory power of resource factors in explaining the gender gap in housework time increased over time, but still could not fully account for the differences, especially in different types of household chores. The uneven strengthening of resource-based models in traditionally 'feminine' tasks versus others indicates the persistence of gender inequality in housework, despite advancements in research.

Summary: This paper demonstrates that introducing securities with nonlinear payoff designs, specifically capital guarantee products, in Sweden between 2002 and 2007, led to increased household risk-taking and expected financial portfolio returns. The effect was particularly strong for households with low-risk appetite. These findings align with a life-cycle model that incorporates pessimistic beliefs or preferences combining loss aversion and narrow framing. The results highlight the potential of security design in mitigating behavioral biases to enhance mean household portfolio returns.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of U.S. household consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, finding that changes in household consumption accounted for approximately one-third of the national emission decline. High-income households were the main contributors to emission increase before 2010, while the third and fourth income quintiles became emission mitigation leaders after that. The study also highlighted carbon inequality within high-income households and the need to focus on leisure-related services and goods for future emission reduction policies.

Summary: This article explores how the decarbonization process of district heating systems in Finland can be accelerated by engaging key investors in market transformation and formulating effective policy mixes. The study identifies investment barriers and proposes policy and strategy solutions to overcome them. The findings suggest that diversifying and strengthening the policy and strategy mix is necessary to address profitability challenges, political uncertainties, and underdeveloped cooperation and profit-sharing models. Collaborative policy co-design with key investors has the potential to enhance the effectiveness and acceptability of policies, although tensions and conflicts may arise during the energy-system transformation process.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of farmers' participation in different short food supply chains (SFSCs) on synthetic pesticide use and crop yields. The findings show that farmers who sell part of their crops through direct-to-consumer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides compared to those who sell through long food supply chains. However, there is no evidence that farmers involved in direct-to-retailer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides. Additionally, there is no indication that SFSC participation affects crop yields.

Summary: This study uses the generalized method of moments (GMM) model to explore the relationship between the digital economy and energy vulnerability in 110 economies. The findings suggest that the digital economy effectively reduces energy vulnerability, with digital infrastructure and social impact being the main contributors. Furthermore, the digital economy helps upgrade the industrial structure and financial development level, thereby reducing energy vulnerability. Additionally, the negative impact of the digital economy on energy vulnerability is more significant in regions with higher income levels.

Summary: Finding ways to steer consumers towards vegetarian and plant-based meals is important for reducing the environmental impact of diets. In this study, we investigated the use of nudges in restaurants to increase sales of vegetarian and plant-based dishes. We found that removing symbols for these dishes increased sales, while adding a low emissions symbol had no effect. However, when the nudge was made transparent through a statement, sales significantly increased. These findings support the use of nudges as cost-effective interventions to address unsustainable food consumption in the hospitality sector.

Summary: This study explores the vulnerability of livelihoods to a reduction in economic output and introduces a novel analytic framework to describe their relationship. The study finds that the vulnerability is not inevitable but arises from insecurity in wage labor, adequate incomes, and pensions. These conditions are primarily due to profit maximization and neoliberal welfare and labor policies. The study identifies a range of interventions to overcome this vulnerability and make stringent environmental policies socially sustainable and politically palatable.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of European Union regulations on e-waste exports. The findings suggest that taxation is ineffective in reducing e-waste exports and may even increase them. Additionally, high dependence on foreign raw materials and sub-standard waste collection systems contribute to the increase in e-waste exports. Therefore, investing in e-waste collection facilities can better utilize the valuable resources in this waste.

Summary: Efforts to decouple economic growth from resource use and negative environmental impacts have yielded inconclusive results, partially due to the uncertainties in historical measurement arising from definitional changes to GDP. This study examines the impact of GDP vintages on decoupling results and finds that a significant number of countries switch between relative decoupling and recoupling, and that GDP vintages also affect environmental Kuznets curve results and the decline in global energy intensity. The inconsistencies in economic measurement introduce ambiguity into historical decoupling evidence and model projections into the future.
