Reducing energy demand (the consumption of energy through human activity) is central to decarbonisation and addressing the climate change challenge. However, despite the overwhelming evidence of the potential for action on energy demand, to date the UK Government has paid limited attention to demand-side measures in its policy mix. This studentship will provide an analysis of the role that different groups ('advocacy coalitions') are playing in shaping current UK government strategies towards decarbonisation, and the neglect of energy demand on the political agenda. The research will uncover the strategies of, and coordinating dynamics between, these different groups and the coalitions they form. This will include identifying the beliefs and motivations of these actors in relation to decarbonisation, and the implications of the strategies they deploy in support of their beliefs for government decision-making and policy choices (for example in relation to regulation or taxation).

减少能源需求（通过人类活动消耗能源）是脱碳和应对气候变化挑战的核心。然而，尽管有压倒性的证据表明有可能对能源需求采取行动，但迄今为止，联合王国政府在其政策组合中对需求方措施的关注有限。该研究将分析不同团体（“倡导联盟”）在塑造当前英国政府脱碳战略以及忽视政治议程上的能源需求方面所发挥的作用。这项研究将揭示这些不同群体及其形成的联盟的战略和协调动态。这将包括确定这些参与者在脱碳方面的信念和动机，以及他们为支持其信念而部署的战略对政府决策和政策选择的影响（例如与监管或税收有关的战略）。
