This book highlights the role of the home as a central social unit of resilience in the face of climate change and sustainable living in contemporary cities.
It examines how climate change affects households, how we can curb its impact, and how policy, planning, architecture and economy can be re-envisioned to support the home within the framework of national and international policy circles. A multidisciplinary inquiry into how families and institutions can generate a sustainable home within an ecosystem of net-zero neighbourhoods and cities, Home and Climate Change investigates how patterns of living, learning and consumption could indicate a far more significant and sustainable impact on both the family and its carbon footprint in the long term.
Broadly covering areas of philosophy, housing, ageing, work/life balance, community participation, as well as educational institutions, this book is an essential reading for researchers, professionals and policymakers at the interaction of climate change policies, strategies and innovation in local domestic environments.
