Resumé

The project communicates research on rebound effects, which can offset around 47% of potential sustainability gains, through accessible stories rooted in Danish everyday culture. By showing how good intentions can lead to unintended consequences, it supports a more nuanced public conversation about sustainability beyond individual choices, towards social and systemic understanding.
