Comparative Study of Low-Carbon Lifestyle for Urban Residents in Huainan,China and Ondangwa, Namibia

This study looks at the low-carbon lifestyles of people living in cities in Huainan, China, and Ondangwa, Namibia, and compares them. The goal is to find out how different social, economic, infrastructural, and policy frameworks affect environmentally friendly behaviors in these different cities. We used a mixed-methods research methodology that included surveys of households, in-depth interviews, and direct observation to gather information on energy use, transportation modes, waste management, consumption patterns, and public awareness of environmental issues. The results show that the people of Huainan benefit from a lot of government help, digital infrastructure, and educational outreach that encourages green behaviors. On the other hand, the people of Ondangwa mostly rely on traditional practices, community initiatives, and resource-saving behaviors that they have to do. The report ends with policy suggestions that are specific to each city. It stresses the need for localized policies, community education, and long-term investments in infrastructure to encourage low-carbon living.
