Description
In the last decades, we witnessed the development of a relatively new line of research on the role of welfare policies addressing the social consequences of the ecological crisis and of the green transition. Concepts such as sustainable welfare, just transition, or and eco-social justice, have been used to portray the challenges ahead and the need for a paradigm shift. The urgency to challenge the current unsustainable growth model went parallel to the need to explore and investigate how welfare policies should address societal needs within ecological limits and planetary boundaries. The presentation will explore this relationship addressing housing and environmental policies and their entanglements.
