Join us for the global launch on October 7, 2025
We are excited to share that Hot or Cool Institute, in collaboration with the Club of Rome, Sitra, Medwaves, and the PS Lifestyle project, will be releasing their groundbreaking 2025 report: 1.5-Degree Lifestyles: A Climate for Sufficiency on October 7, 2025.
About the Report
This comprehensive report examines how our lifestyles—shaped by infrastructure, policy, and culture—must transform to align with planetary limits. Drawing on data from 25 countries, it represents the most comprehensive global analysis of lifestyle carbon footprints to date.
The report identifies key emissions hotspots and explores how sufficiency living can help us reach a Fair Consumption Space—outlining both the maximum lifestyle emissions compatible with staying within 1.5°C warming, and the minimum consumption needed to ensure dignity, health, and social participation for all.
Launch Webinar – October 7
Date: October 7, 2025

Format: Free online webinar
Dr. Lewis Akenji, Executive Director of Hot or Cool Institute, will present the findings alongside a panel of experts (to be announced). The webinar promises a lively discussion on creating fair and sustainable lifestyles for everyone, balancing planetary safety with social equity.

A communications toolkit—including suggested messages, social media materials, and press resources—will be shared next week to help amplify the report’s reach and recommendations.
