Johne, C. (author), Schröder, E. (author), Ward, H. (author)The high level of nitrogen emissions over the last decades and their adverse impact on the natural environment and human health are a pressing environmental issue. A nitrogen tax can be a cost-efficient and effective policy instrument to reduce nitrogen emissions. However, adverse effects on low- and middle-income households might lead to...journal article 2023

Conradie, Peter (author), Van Hove, Stephanie (author), Pelka, S. (author), Karaliopoulos, Merkouris (author), Anagnostopoulos, Filippos (author), Brugger, Heike (author), Ponnet, Koen (author)Reducing heating-related energy consumption is vital in Europe, where it accounts for a significant portion of domestic energy usage. We studied the factors that influence reduced heating-related consumption by using three theoretical frameworks: the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the Value Belief Norm theory, and the Prototype Willingness Model....journal article 2023

Stoopman, Sam (author)What exactly causes the emergence of the attitude-behaviour gap, and to what extent, is not fully understood. Previous academic research has shown that many barriers to adoption remain, and that difficulty lies in the heterogeneity of consumers. Through the use of a simulation model this thesis explores the emergence of the attitude-behaviour...master thesis 2022

Merceij, Puck (author)Climate change is happening and has an increasingly great impact on nature, ecosystems, biodiversity and human society. To reduce adverse consequences of hazards for current and future generations, one must understand how adaptation behavior of civil societies could develop itself over time, interact with its environment and effect its ecosystem...master thesis 2022

Lechner, Jonas (author)Climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of floods - the most devastating and costly climate-induced hazard. Government adaptations such as dikes or beach nourishments are important, yet insufficient in the face of worsening hazards. They reduce the hazard probability, but the local actions at the household level determine the...master thesis 2022

Uijl, Mark Jan (author)The residential energy consumption and energy affordability are crucial in policy design, with regard to energy efficiency and energy poverty. This has become even more relevant now, as the energy transition is taking off and the energy prices are soaring. Given the inequality in the energy consumption and energy affordability, it is therefore...master thesis 2022

Peretto, Marco (author)Energy poverty, understood as a situation in which one household is not able to afford essential domestic energy services, is a phenomenon spread throughout Europe. In the following study, the Republic of Serbia will be considered specifically. The latter is, as other Western Balkan countries, affected by inefficient dwellings and housing...master thesis 2022

Joemmanbaks, Shaya (author)Recent years have seen a rise in computation power, storage and opensource data has become more accessible. This results in new opportunities for microsimulation models. Most of these models require a realistic population but the data for this is usually not available. Therefore, population synthesis is used to generate the statistical...master thesis 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author)In the Netherlands, a complex heat transition is taking place. Currently, the country's built environment largely relies on natural gas for heating. By 2050, the housing sector should, in principle, be free of this fuel. Changes in laws, policies, regulations, and technical solutions to achieve this goal will be challenging. Their implementation...doctoral thesis 2022
