Our lifestyles choices is closely linked to the triple planetary crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The latest IPCC report also explicitly points out the urgency of facilitating the changes of our lifestyles and behavior, which have the potential to cut down the required greenhouse gases by 40-70% by 2050 if suppod by enabling policy, infrastructure and technology. Addressing these interconnected environmental emergencies through lifestyles could be complex and overwhelming, but it could also be an opportunity to live a quality life of better wellbeing.
