The 1.5-Degree Lifestyles report illustrate the scale of the sustainable living challenge and the need for greenhouse gas emission of 80 percent by 2050 counting today’s intensity of lifestyles. Cities are the perfect leverage point for enabling 1.5-degree living. The Future Lifestyles project shows that enabling urban infrastructures and municipal services are necessary to enable 1.5 degree living.

In a world with a limited and fast-shrinking global carbon budget, coupled with vast inequalities, how do we allocate the remaining carbon allowance in a manner that is fair while drastically decreasing our footprints within a limited timeframe to avoid irreversible ecological damage?
We Don't Have Time is, together with our partners, proud to announce the fifth Exponential Climate Action Summit, exploring the role of nature in the race to zero.
This event will delve into how we can change how we consume and explore how sustainable living can enable circularity. Policy makers will recount how and why some policy strategies have been successfully (or less successfully) implemented.We will also explore the positive externalities of health and well-being that can be achieved when we address environmental issues.
Evidence shows that all economies will have to adjust lifestyles and consumption levels to live below a 1.5-degree global rise in temperature, while attending to inequality and supporting wellbeing. In essence we need to re-think how we eat, move, live and choose to spend our time and resources. Moreover, we need to re-design the systems (infrastructure, policy, markets, technology, etc.) that support our current ways of living.
This event, hosted by Hot or Cool Institute and the Go4SDGs initiative, will explore how our future lifestyles need to change and pathways to future sustainable living.
