PhD Scott's PhD research involves the development and testing of energy-related lifestyle scenarios for the future. Scenarios are widely used across the public and private sectors as a means of establishing sets of 'possible futures', in order to better inform current policy and strategy. In attempting to reduce our environmental impact, scenarios can help illuminate the possible consequences of our current lifestyles, as well as indicating which alternative lifestyles might provide a more sustainable path for the future. These scenarios will be informed by ongoing research across other strands within RESOLVE, combining an energy mapping framework with socio-psychological and cultural understandings of lifestyle change. Scott is supervised by Prof Lester Hunt (Surrey Energy Economics Centre) and Dr Michael Peters (RESOLVE). |
