Panel Discussion: What Does It Mean To Be Home?

What does your home mean to you? Join us as we join the dots between housing, migration, environment and community.

As our planet changes as a result of human led climate change, so our sense of home will change with it.

Mass migration due to areas of the world becoming uninhabitable will involve people leaving their homes and making home elsewhere, impacting on them and the new areas they live. Extreme weather events will cause damage to people’s homes with increasing regularity. Measures to reduce climate change will require us to power, light, heat and insulate our homes differently. Changes in transportation habits will impact on commuting from our homes to work and leisure. The current housing sysytem works against the provision of affordable, sustainable homes for all. This panel will explore the interconnect between housing, climate, migration, ecology  and economy.
