APCC Special Report "Structures for a climate-friendly life"

The APCC Special Report is dedicated to the question of how all areas of life can be transformed in order to achieve the climate goals. The report shows that structures are needed for a climate-friendly life and that the prevailing call for individuals to change their behavior shifts this problem to the individual and is not sufficient. The report therefore focuses on the joint design of structures.

Our colleagues Nina Svanda and Sibylla Zech have described the contribution of spatial planning to the structures for climate-friendly living in Chapter 19 "Spatial planning" of the APCC Special Report. They address the necessary changes, describe structures, forces and barriers and conclude with an outlook on the design options for spatial planning. The design options focus on the fact that the necessary changes require a new public awareness, political will and legal and institutional prerequisites.
