Balance climate and social housing policies

Austria’s low carbon transformation needs to reach climate targets without negatively impacting the social agenda. BALANCE designs policy mixes in the domain of housing which reconcile climate and social policy measures. In an iterative process, secondary socio-economic data and household surveys serve to assess current policies, while economic modelling and choice experiments help to assess future policy mixes. A stakeholder assisted synthesis validates and refines the findings from the empirical policy assessments.
