Wicked Problems at the Crossroads: Integrating Housing and Climate Policy for Sustainable Futures
摘要
Each aspect of the interview data underscores how combining housing and climate policies intertwines economic, social, and ecological sustainability dimensions. Integration is challenged by the silo effect, the scarcity of resources and the multidisciplinary nature of the issue. To integrate the policy sectors, we must be prepared to change social behaviours, economic structures, and regulatory frameworks. Changes in economic structures can happen inter alia in the form of a green or circular economy. To prepare for the future altered by climate change and its continuing and increasing risks, climate change adaptation must be better included in housing and climate policies and their integration.
