Rebound effects in mobility.
Description
Rebound effects reduce the effectiveness of eco-friendly mobility measures. The expected energy or CO2 savings are not achieved to the full extent, but are reduced by changing usage behaviour. Rebound effects are risk factors for energy and climate scenarios that rely primarily on more efficient technologies. However, if they are systematically taken into account and accompanying measures are put in place, this reduces the risk of failure to meet environmental and climate targets. This can be achieved if less and shorter distances are travelled and economic growth is decoupled from resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This short study was prepared as part of the project “Sustainable Mobility Transition” on behalf of the German Federal Environment Agency.
