Energy crisis and inflation implications for research on rebound effects

The energy crisis implications for rebound effect research

We welcome you to this mini seminar related to the topic “The energy crisis implications for rebound research”.   

Some of the world's most prominent researchers on the rebound effect present their research and reflect on how current policy responses to the energy crises and increase in prices could lead to rebound effects and give new directions for  research on rebound effects. 

The seminar will be presented by
