Housing + Climate Policy: Building Equitable Pathways to Sustainability and Affordability

Cover image for Housing + Climate Policy: Building Equitable Pathways to Sustainability and Affordability

This report looks at the existing research on climate and housing in the U.S in two key areas: how housing decarbonization and production strategies can reduce pollution to mitigate climate change, and how climate change impacts renters, homeowners, and the broader housing industry. The paper also identifies key research gaps where more evidence would help policymakers to navigate the tensions between different policy approaches.
