Briefings

Industrial ecologist Stephanie Cap argues that households cannot independently meet climate targets; instead, businesses and governments must establish the structural conditions necessary for lifestyle changes. Her dissertation, 'Everything Must Change: 1.5°C decarbonisation scenarios across industries and households,' was completed in October 2026, though the article's publication date is September 27, 2026, suggesting it may be a preprint or early release. The evidence explicitly states that industrial sustainability alone is insufficient without parallel household behavioral shifts.

Key points

• Industrial ecologist Stephanie Cap asserts that households cannot achieve climate targets independently and must rely on structural conditions created by businesses and governments.
• Cap's dissertation, titled 'Everything Must Change: 1.5°C decarbonisation scenarios across industries and households,' was finalized in October 2026, indicating the research predates the article's publication date.

Context and limitations

The provided evidence is limited to a single sentence from an article dated September 27, 2026, which may not reflect the full scope of Cap's research or the specific details of the 1.5°C scenarios detailed in her October dissertation.
