Housing, the Environment and Our Changing Climate

The actions of housing managers and their residents will be key to cutting carbon emissions from UK homes, which account for 27 per cent of the nation’s total emissions. The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) has produced a new book in its joint series with the HSA, Housing, the Environment and Our Changing Climate, which we hope will lay the foundations for a change in attitude, so that anyone involved in housing and communities will recognise the urgency of making our homes fit for the future

The edited volume brings together contributions from academics, the housing sector and outside commentators to present the first rounded view of the importance of housing in tackling climate change. It has a Foreword by Tony Juniper of Friends of the Earth.

“Housing, the Environment and Our Changing Climate” by Sinn, C. and Perry, J. (eds) is published by the Chartered Institute of Housing. See their website for more details.
