Andréanne Doyon | A Sustainable Housing Future

Climate + Environment, PFL 2023-2024, President's Faculty Lectures, Education + Research, Cities, 2024, Make a Difference for B.C., Engage in Global Challenges

After decades of fragmented and limited action, we are experiencing a climate emergency. Cities and the built environment, which includes housing, are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, as well as wider environmental impacts and social inequities.  

This lecture explored the role sustainable housing must play in the creation of a more livable and resilient future. While not common, we can deliver sustainable housing right now. There are multiple examples of innovative new sustainable housing and retrofits of existing housing. What we need is a sustainable housing transition. We need policy makers, the construction industry, and individual households to demand more of our housing.  

This lecture aimed to inspire people to demand more from their housing and cities, as well as provide concrete examples and pathways to support this transition. Thank you to all who joined!

-Dr. Andréanne Doyon
