Enabling low-income households in the private rental market to respond to climate change

Late in 2007, the Brotherhood of St. Laurence convened a roundtable to consider ways to reduce the likely impact of climate change (and related mitigation measures such as carbon pricing) on low-income private renter households.

Contributors from industry, government, academia and non-government organisations agreed on recommendations relating to areas such emissions trading, improved household energy efficiency, building standards, energy tariffs and urban planning.

This report presents the recommendations and background information.
