Who is responsible for limiting global warming to 1.5°?
Even if industry rapidly becomes more sustainable, households will still need to change their lifestyles to meet climate targets.
AI Summary
Industrial ecologist Stephanie Cap argues that households alone cannot achieve the 1.5°C climate target. She says that businesses and governments must create conditions that enable households to change their lifestyles. Cap defended her dissertation, titled “Everything Must Change: 1.5°C decarbonisation scenarios across industries and households,” on October 1. The dissertation examines decarbonisation scenarios that involve both industrial and household sectors. The study highlights the need for coordinated action across all sectors to meet climate goals.
