Low-carbon precincts for low-carbon living

摘要

Evidence continues to mount concerning the contribution that carbon emissions from human activity are making to climate change , the costs that this will impose on future generations if unabated , and the challenging GHG mitigation targets and strategies required to minimize temperature increase . There are multiple pathways available for the decarbonization of modern societies and they tend to fall under three principal categories: technological change, sustainable urban design and behavior change . All are necessary and require transformational change from current practice.
