This book focuses on the challenge that Australia faces in
transitioning to renewable energy and regenerating its cities via a
transformation of its built environment. Both are necessary
conditions for low carbon living in the 21st century. This is a
global challenge represented by the United Nation's Sustainable
Development Goals and the IPCC's Climate Change program and its
focus on mitigation and adaptation. All nations must make
significant contributions to this transformation. This book
highlights the new knowledge and innovation that has emerged from
research projects undertaken in the Co-operative Research Centre
for Low Carbon Living between 2012 and 2019 - an initiative of the
Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science and
Technology that is tasked with responding to the UN challenges.
Four principal transition pathways were central to the CRC and
provide the thematic structure to this volume. They focus on
technology, buildings, precinct and city design, and human
behaviour - and their interactions.
