Global Strategies for Reducing Carbon Emissions in Urban Housing:Lessons for China
Housing systems are closely linked to climate change,yet housing policies often prioritize social objec-tives without considering environmental impacts.This paper provides a thorough analysis of how housing affects carbon emissions and develops a theoretical framework to understand the interplay between housing and environ-mental factors.It examines both the direct impact of housing on carbon emissions and the reverse effects of cli-mate change on housing systems.Greenhouse gases(GHGs)emitted through the construction,maintenance,and use of housing are significant contributors to climate change.Furthermore,climate change influenced by carbon emissions affects housing quality,pricing,operational costs,and social stratification.The paper proposes policy recommendations to address these issues,emphasizing the need for improved collaboration among housing,plan-ning,and energy sectors.It calls for coordinated efforts from all levels of government and non-government organi-zations and highlights the importance of technological innovations in building low-carbon housing,retrofitting ex-isting homes,and enhancing the energy efficiency of housing services.It advocates for the prioritization of social equity and environmental justice to mitigate the formation of inequitable geographic patterns stemming from housing stratification.
