Tim Jackson

Tim Jackson lead our Economics steering group.

He is Professor of Sustainable Development in the Centre for Environmental Strategy (CES) at the University of Surrey. His current research interests include consumer behaviour, sustainable energy systems, ecological economics and environmental philosophy. In the last twelve years he has pioneered the development of an �adjusted� measure of economic growth � a �green GDP� � for the UK. Since January 2003, Tim has been employed at CES under a research fellowship on the �social psychology� of consumer behaviour.

Supported by the Economic and Social Research Council, the fellowship aims to review the extensive literature on consumer behaviour and tease out the implications for sustainable consumption policy. In addition to his academic work, Tim is a professional playwright with numerous radio-writing credits for the BBC.
