Abstract

Sustainable energy consumption in household is linked to energy saving and the use of renewable energy sources. These are also the main measures of GHG emission reduction linked to energy consumption. There is a huge GHG emission reduction potential linked to energy consumption in households as climate change mitigation policies and measures aiming at sustainable energy consumption are mainly targeting energy supply sector. Climate change mitigation policies in households linked to promote of energy savings and use of renewable energy sources were not able to overcome behavioural barriers of sustainable energy consumption in households, as they were targeting economic barriers mainly. Therefore, new policies and measures targeting behavioural barriers of sustainable energy consumption inn households are necessary. The paper analyses behavioural barriers of sustainable energy consumption in households and provides analysis of policies and measures set to overcome behavioural barriers of sustainable energy consumption. The analysis of advantages and disadvantages of nudges is provided policy recommendations were developed based on analysis conducted.

使用轻推器促进住户可持续能源消费

家庭可持续能源消费与节约能源和使用可再生能源有关。这些也是与能源消耗相关的温室气体减排的主要措施。由于旨在实现可持续能源消费的气候变化缓解政策和措施主要针对能源供应部门，因此与家庭能源消费相关的温室气体减排潜力巨大。与促进节约能源和使用可再生能源有关的家庭气候变化缓解政策无法克服家庭可持续能源消费的行为障碍，因为这些政策主要针对经济障碍。因此，有必要针对家庭可持续能源消费的行为障碍制定新的政策和措施。本文分析了家庭可持续能源消费的行为障碍，并分析了克服可持续能源消费行为障碍的政策和措施。在分析的基础上，提出了政策建议。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Contemporary Economics is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research in economics, finance, accounting and management with the noticeable contribution and impact to the development of those disciplines and preferably with practice relevancies. All entirety of methods is desirable, including a falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of a theory, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory for theoretical research as well as qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and combination for an empirical research. This clear priority for comprehensive manuscripts containing a methodology-based theoretical and empirical research with implications and recommendations for policymaking does not exclude manuscripts entirely focused on theory or methodology. Manuscripts that raise significant, actual topics of international relevance will be highly appreciated. The interdisciplinary approach including – besides economic, financial, accounting or managerial –also other aspects, is welcomed.
