My current research focuses on the emergence of consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions as a calculation practice, a target and an area of policy-making. I shed light on these issues by examining discussions in expert networks in the interface between politics, academia, business and civil society.

In a project for the Nordic Council of Ministers, I have, together with colleagues in Mistra Sustainable Consumption, mapped and analysed policy instruments that can reduce consumption-based emissions in the Nordic countries. The results are published in a report of which I am the main author: Policy Options for Reducing Consumption-Based Emissions - A Nordic Survey
