In conversations about pathways to a sustainable future, social and environmental outcomes are often treated as separate or conflicting objectives.

However, to increase wellbeing for all while meeting climate mitigation targets, it is crucial to identify synergies across welfare and climate policies and develop a joint approach to socio-ecological problems.

As part of the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project, we are pleased to announce the release of "Designing Welfare Systems for a 1.5° Future".
This is the first in a series of Policy Briefs designed to guide policy-making towards a fair, sustainable future for all.


Balancing wellbeing, ecological goals, and societal needs is essential, and effective policy measures is the pathway to a more sustainable and equitable future.
