ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that energy demand is not only affected by the actions of energy policy makers: it is also influenced by policies relating to trade, industry, transport, farming, health and education, among others. We begin by showing how ‘non-energy policies’ shape energy demand through the impact they have on what people do, and on patterns of work, leisure and mobility. We then discuss opportunities for mobilising non-energy policies as a means of reducing energy demand.
