Home, Family and Climate Change:Understanding the power of home to transform societies in the face of Climate Emergency

In the face of a global emergency, the home and family instantly and instinctively emerged as the resilient unit on which our society can rely and through which we can adapt and reset our systems and global operations; lessons learned, adaptably and flexibility were tested, and it worked. Why, therefore, we look elsewhere to build resilience and response mechanism to combat Climate Change. This report explores the role home and family play in the transition towards a sustainable and carbon- neutral planet, where our Carbon footprint is neutralised by offsetting our consumption with the production of clean energy and a sustainable lifestyle. Building on the lessons learnt during COVID-19 Pandemic, this report brings together collective effort of experts, scholars and scientists from diverse disciplines, professions, and research backgrounds to debate the challenges and opportunities facing the home as societal institutions to achieve that goal. It tries to respond to a key question, ‘how can we engage more effectively with the home and family as a resilient unit to help societies and economies combat Climate Change?’"
