Towards the prevention of rebound effects within complex socio-technical systems
Society´s most well-intended efforts to solve sustainability challenges have not yet achieved the expected gains due to rebound effects, which are unintended consequences of interventions that arise due to induced changes in system behaviour. Rebound effects are widely acknowledged, but fundamental scientific gaps hamper their prevention. REBOUNDLESS aims to develop the reboundless design theory, a paradigm shift in design science that will establish the scientific knowledge for preventing rebound effects by: - Explaining systemic rebound effect mechanisms triggered by sustainable design strategies. - Modelling and simulating the magnitude of rebound effects arising from design decisions. -…
