Speaker: Professor Karen Lucas, University of Manchester

Abstract: This presentation addresses the issues of fairness and justice of energy resource allocations in the domestic energy and personal travel domains with a specific focus on tackling ‘over consumption’. Achieving this relies upon understanding the underlying reasons for high energy use and the structural, social, cultural and economic influences on these behaviours. These findings will be considered in the context of political theory and theories of consumption to structure definitions of high use consumers and to develop and assess approaches to equitable radical reductions.
