Professor Tim Jackson is Director of the newly-awarded ESRC Research group on Lifestyles, Values and Environment (RESOLVE) – a new cross-departmental research initiative at the University of Surrey.
Tim Jackson joined the Centre for Environmental Strategy in January 1995. He was appointed Professor of Sustainable Development in April 2000, the first such chair to be created in the UK. His current research interests include: sustainable consumption, sustainable energy systems, ecological economics and environmental philosophy.
Between January 2003 and April 2005, Tim was employed at CES under a professorial research fellowship on the ‘social psychology’ of sustainable consumption, supported by the ESRC’s Sustainable Technologies Programme. The aim of the fellowship was to engage in a critical review of the literature on consumer behaviour from disciplines as diverse as anthropology, sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, economics and marketing and to report on the implications for sustainable consumption policy.
In March 2004, Tim was appointed to the UK Sustainable Development Commission as chair of the Economics Steering Group. He is the only academic member to sit on the UK Government’s Sustainable Consumption Round Table, and advises DEFRA on sustainable consumption and production, behaviour change, well-being and sustainable procurement.
