Equitable 1.5-Degree Lifestyles

This policy brief is the first in a publication series that explores Policy Pathways towards 1.5-Degree Lifestyles –lifestyles which are compatible with staying within 1.5°C global warming. It encompasses the insights developed during a scientific workshop with experts on sustainable and equitable housing held in April 2021 as well as a Policy Lab facilitating exchanges between policymakers and other stakeholders conducted by the ZOE Institute in June 2021. A further publication will provide background information on the role of equitable 1.5 Degree Lifestyles in reducing emissions. The background publications serve as a foundation for the thematic Policy Labs exploring how future-fit policy pathways for Europe can be created in the areas of food, mobility and housing. Three publications related to these policy labs on food, housing and mobility will follow. For more information about the project, visit Policy Pathways towards 1.5 Degree Lifestyles.
