Overview
Background
Csilla Demeter is a social scientist in the Business School, whose research investigates how corporations respond to climate change. Her research is focused on understanding the debate on the challenges generated by the Energy transition in Australia, as the sector adapts to climate change. She also explores public perceptions toward Reef restoration interventions.
Csilla contributed to sustainable tourism research by investigating the suitability of Environmentally Extended Input-Output Analysis as a tool that can be adopted by small and medium enterprises to calculate their carbon emissions without compromising on accuracy, by quantifying the effectiveness of interventions designed to change environmentally significant behaviour, comparing intervention effectiveness across a wide range of intervention mechanisms, and by proposing a novel approach to trigger behavioural change in enjoyment focused contexts.
