Welcome to Climate/Housing
This site aims to grow understanding of, and responses to, climate change in the social housing, affordable housing and homelessness sectors. As time goes on, I'm planning to keep adding to it - if you have something you'd like to add please get in touch, I'm really keen to share knowledge and experiences from as many people as possible.
A simple introduction to climate science, climate policy and why housing is a key part of this picture.
How can we reduce the impact of our housing on the climate, including through good construction choices, energy efficiency and clean power?
How do we adapt our housing and services to account for the climate change that is now inevitable even on the best case scenarios?
What impact does climate change have on homelessness and the people experiencing it, and how can we respond?
How do we govern and manage our organisations in a sustainable way, reducing our climate impacts and planning and managing our risks well?
