迅速采取行动提高资源效率对于实现气候减缓目标至关重要。由于新产品、政策和商业模式可能会以意想不到的方式重塑日常生活，因此需要考虑公众对资源效率战略的可接受性以及技术减排潜力。在这里，通过使用基于消费的排放模型和深思熟虑的公共研讨会，我们发现公众对一系列资源效率战略的大力支持，这些战略相结合可以将英国的碳足迹减少多达 29 公吨二氧化碳当量 (CO(2)e) 排放量（汽车、服装、电子产品、电器和家具等家用产品的排放量减少 39%）。对于旨在开发资源效率更高的产品的战略，公众的接受度已经很高。旨在鼓励产品共享和延长产品生命周期的策略也得到了积极的认可，尽管接受程度取决于是否满足其他重要条件，例如可信、责任、公平、负担能力、便利、安全和卫生。
Rapid action to improve resource efficiency is essential for achieving climate mitigation goals. As they are likely to reshape everyday life in unexpected ways, new products, policies and business models will need to consider the public acceptability of resource-efficiency strategies, as well as the technical emission-reduction potential. Here, using consumption-based emissions modelling and deliberative public workshops, we find considerable public support for a range of resource-efficiency strategies that combined could reduce the carbon footprint in the United Kingdom by up to 29 Mt of CO2-equivalent (CO(2)e) emissions (a 39% emissions reduction from household products, such as cars, clothing, electronics, appliances and furniture). Public acceptability is already high for strategies that aim to develop more resource-efficient products. Strategies that aim to encourage product sharing and extend product lifetimes were also perceived positively, although acceptance was dependent on meeting other important conditions, such as trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, affordability, convenience, safety and hygiene.
