How Teleworking Impact GHG Emissions by Changing Mobility Behaviour? IREGE, Savoie Mont Blanc University, France Teleworking has emerged as a potential strategy to reduce commuting-related greenhouse gas emissions by altering mobility behaviors. Using a nationally representative dataset from metropolitan France covering two survey waves 2020 and 2023, this study examines the extent to which teleworking effectively lowers emissions and whether rebound effects mitigate its environmental benefits. The results indicate that teleworking adoption increased significantly, from 19.6% of workers in 2020 to 32.5% in 2023. This shift has led to a substantial reduction in commuting-related CO2 emissions, with teleworkers averaging a 28.8% decline in emissions compared to non-teleworkers. However, the study also highlights compensatory behaviors: while teleworkers commute less, they tend to engage in more non-work-related travel, leading to private emissions of up to 923 kgCO2eq annually for individuals teleworking four days per week. These findings suggest that teleworking alone is not sufficient to achieve optimal environmental benefits. Public policies should integrate incentives for teleworking with measures that promote low-emission mobility, taxation measures to promote decarbonized transport, and behavioral nudges to reduce rebound effects.
