It's hosted by CDS Cooperatives who have 50+ years' experience championing co-operative models of social housing. The work that CLH London is now undertaking is part of a pivot away from direct delivery of small-scale housing projects and towards system and culture change within mainstream housing provision.

The line of work this project sits within is looking at innovative forms of power-sharing between residents and providers of social housing.

GB-CHC-1157363

Possible works on areas of climate action where behaviour and lifestyle changes are urgently needed to ensure that people adopt new technologies and consent to new low-carbon approaches. The unavoidable conclusions from scientists are that on top of decarbonising our energy supply, we need to shift people out of their cars, reduce flying, replace gas boilers in our homes and end our throwaway culture with its huge emissions profile. These behaviour and lifestyle-driven carbon cuts are seen as the difficult side of climate policy - but if we don't address them now, we'll face a world of dangerous runaway climate change.
