PublicationsEnvisaging housing as a universal basic serviceThis report brings together a wide range of evidence that supports the case for delivering decent homes for all within planetary boundaries. It considers how to meet the human need for housing while at the same time minimising existential threats to human wellbeing posed by accelerating climate change and depletion of natural resources. Combined, they provide a rich resource for all those interested in building a genuinely fair and green housing system for the UK. This is the fourth in a series published jointly by NEF and the Social Guarantee that considers aspects of social and environmental policy through the lens of universal basic services (UBS). We draw on the idea of universal basic services (UBS), an eco-social approach to policymaking, which sees social and environmental policies as mutually reinforcing.
