Stockholm+50 | Sustainable Living within 1.5 degrees: innovative pathways to live better and lighter

Online

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.
