这篇文章提出了一个新的和雄心勃勃的研究和治理议程，以减少能源需求的情况。它认为，现有的'需求方'的办法，重点是促进技术效率和知情的个人消费是不可能足以实现未来的碳排放量减少的目标;它指出，很少注意到迄今为止，对能源需求的非能源政策的影响;它提出，一个更充分的能源需求问题纳入政策是必要的。它提出了一个一般性的框架，说明性的例子支持，了解能源需求的“非能源”政策的影响。它反映了为什么这些联系在能源研究和政策中很少被探索和解决。它认为，尽管目前的“无形性”，但仍有提高其他政策领域内减少能源需求目标的可见度并实际上将其“主流化”的余地。我们认为，研究人员和政策制定者需要更好地理解如何使能源需求变得可管理，以及如何单独或结合修订非能源政策，以帮助引导能源需求的长期变化。
This article makes the case for a new and ambitious research and governance agenda for energy demand reduction. It argues that existing ‘demand-side’ approaches focused on promoting technological efficiency and informed individual consumption are unlikely to be adequate to achieving future carbon emissions reduction goals; it points out that very little attention has so far been paid to the impacts of non-energy policies on energy demand; and it submits that a much fuller integration of energy demand questions into policy is required. It advances a general framework, supported by illustrative examples, for understanding the impacts of ‘non-energy’ policies on energy demand. It reflects on why these connections have been so little explored and addressed within energy research and policy. And it argues that, for all their current ‘invisibility’, there is nonetheless scope for increasing the visibility of, and in effect ‘mainstreaming’, energy demand reduction objectives within other policy areas. Researchers and policymakers, we contend, need to develop better understandings of how energy demand might be made governable, and how non-energy policies might be revised, alone and in combination, to help steer long-term changes in energy demand.
