Decarbonisation
Decarbonisation describes the broad process of reducing and ultimately eliminating the carbon emissions associated with energy, transport, industry, buildings and other human activities. It involves technology, but it also requires changes in infrastructure, economics, policy, design and patterns of production and consumption.
Seeing the larger connections
This page will bring together WLT material concerned with that transition while keeping sight of an important distinction: reducing emissions is essential, but a flourishing future asks more of us than becoming merely less damaging. Decarbonisation can therefore be understood as part of a larger movement towards regenerative and ecologically compatible ways of living.
As this part of the Whole Life Times website develops, the page will connect relevant magazine articles, historical archive material, WLT Dialogues, books, research and related subjects. In that way it can grow from an introductory pathway into a richer and increasingly interconnected field of knowledge.
What will gather here
WLT Articles
Current and recent Whole Life Times articles directly concerned with decarbonisation and its wider connections.
From the Archive
Earlier WLT articles will be added as the historical print collection is scanned, recovered and classified.
WLT Dialogues
Relevant conversations with researchers, practitioners, thinkers and change-makers will progressively be connected here.
