Abstract

This chapter explores the residential sector, presenting its pivotal role in global decarbonisation efforts. Central to the chapter is an analysis of carbon emissions within the residential sector, tracing its historical trajectory, current status, and future forecasts. It highlights decarbonisation’s imperative and potential implications for mitigating climate change. In exploring decarbonisation strategies and applications, the chapter overviews various approaches, from technological innovations to policy interventions. The chapter further presents the role of key players and stakeholders in driving decarbonisation efforts within the residential sector. From governmental bodies to grassroots organisations, each entity’s contributions and commitments to decarbonisation are examined, alongside the importance of social interactions and community involvement in fostering sustainable practices. The chapter also addresses the challenges and barriers hindering effective implementation, underlining the need for collaborative action and systemic changes. Finally, the chapter spotlights 40 notable business cases from 16 countries within the residential sector, showcasing exemplary initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable land use practices.
