Australian Research Council DECRA 2024 success Ang Li

Congratulations to Healthy Housing Research Fellow Ang Li for receiving the 2024 ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award!

Project title: Housing, social wellbeing and climate change resilience in Australia

The project aims to investigate the capacity for current and future housing policy to build social wellbeing and reduce vulnerability to climate change. It will be the first systematic evaluation of housing-based reforms in terms of their social and equity impacts in the context of climate change. The evidence generated will inform the development of climate adaptation strategies across Australian jurisdictions. It will also contribute to improving housing suitability in the private rental market and reducing energy hardship. The project will deliver new knowledge using novel data linkage and rigorous methods. By focusing on social wellbeing, findings will contribute to an assessment and monitoring framework based on equity principles.
