A two-day workshop about the role of welfare policies and the opportunities to transform business models in order to achieve 1.5° lifestyles

We planted several hundred native fruit trees as part of the TreeDependent program this year.

This was the question we addressed with participants at the Hungarian workshop, one of the five planned, about “rebound effects” of 1.5°-lifestyles. The topics and discussions covered four larger behaviour changes (give up car/flying/meat or living space).

Carbon footprints are models, essentially our best estimates. They will vary depending on the approach and data used, but they can be very useful for highlighting high-emissions hotspots in our lifestyles that need attention.

How do we go about calculating it, and how can it be useful in helping societies, not just individuals, transition to a 1.5°C world?
