Considering a post carbon future


The Post Carbon Pathways website aims to strengthen understanding of the actions needed to create rapid, large-scale transitions to a just and sustainable post carbon future.
The site has been created to share information and analysis from the Post Carbon Pathways research program housed at the Melbourne SustainabilitySociety Institute at the University of Melbourne.
As the risks of runaway climate change continue to escalate, so too does the urgent need to build public support for a rapid transition to a just and sustainable post carbon society.
The Post Carbon Pathways project is informed by the view that, while increased public acceptance of the necessity of urgent climate change action is crucial, the transformational changes required to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions also depend on broad recognition that alternative, more desirable futures and pathways are indeed possible.
