“…The challenge for governments is to satisfy housing, health, financial and personal security regardless of individual consumption and beyond market offer [5]. Policies that promote worklife balance, healthy lifestyles, universal housing and health, or unconditional basic income are interesting options to lower the carbon burden of subsistence and protection while enhancing needs satisfaction [18,22,39,43].…”

“…The theory of 'human ecology' considers a broader context, recognizing that QOL might also be affected by non-consumption factors [16] such as social dyanmics [18], relationships [19], health [3], climate conditions [12,16], political factors [5,16], etc (see [12,16,20]). In this case, changes in consumption do not necessarily predict changes in well-being, as shown by the 'non-relation' constant or scatter plots in figure 1.…”

“…Unlike the hierarchical taxonomy of Maslow [50], Max-Neef proposes a horizontal view of needs which is supported by robust research that reports needs to be fairly independent of each other [19]. For example, individuals with low material living standards can have better psychological and social well-being than their well-off counterparts [18,19,32,51].…”

While quality of life (QOL) is the result of satisfying human needs, our current provision strategies result in global environmental degradation. To ensure sustainable QOL, we need to understand the environmental impact of human needs satisfaction. In this paper we deconstruct QOL, and apply the fundamental human needs framework developed by Max-Neef et al to calculate the carbon and energy footprints of subsistence, protection, creation, freedom, leisure, identity, understanding and participation. We find that half of global carbon emissions are driven by subsistence and protection. A similar amount are due to freedom, identity, creation and leisure together, whereas understanding and participation jointly account for less than 4% of global emissions. We use 35 objective and subjective indicators to evaluate human needs satisfaction and their associated carbon footprints across nations. We find that the relationship between QOL and environmental impact is more complex than previously identified through aggregated or single indicators. Satisfying needs such as protection, identity and leisure is generally not correlated with their corresponding footprints. In contrast, the likelihood of satisfying needs for understanding, creation, participation and freedom, increases steeply when moving from low to moderate emissions, and then stagnates. Most objective indicators show a threshold trend with respect to footprints, but most subjective indicators show no relationship, except for freedom and creation. Our study signals the importance of considering both subjective and objective satisfaction to assess QOL-impact relationships at the needs level. In this way, resources could be strategically invested where they strongly relate to social outcomes, and spared where non-consumption satisfiers could be more effective. Through this approach, decoupling human needs satisfaction from environmental damage becomes more attainable.

“…Among other interests, studies on humanenvironment interrelations seek to deepen the understanding of how to build a greater congruence between individual needs and the characteristics of the physical environment, in order to reduce pressure levels and environmental stress resulting from these adaptations (Gatersleben & Griffin, 2017;Perlaviciute & Steg, 2012).…”

Adapting to environments is paramount for strengthening the well-being and quality of life. Personenvironment studies seeks, among other interests, to deepen the understanding of how to build greater congruence between individual needs and the characteristics of the physical environment to reduce pressure levels and environmental stress resulting from these adaptations. From the 1970s, this human-environmental reciprocity was explored by Lawton and colleagues in the institutional context. The theoretical pressure-competence model and the ageing-in-place concept are seen as contributions to enrich the dialogue between scholars, focusing on the human-environment congruence related to individual characteristics and environmental resources. Therefore, enhancing the role and actions of the elderly in the use of public spaces and enabling them to be included in the city planning, is to improve the active and relevant character of their achievements, favoring the emergence of new horizons.

“…El apego al lugar de residencia se refiere a los vínculos afectivos y cognitivos que construyen las personas con el lugar donde viven, los cuales son influenciados por factores socio-demográficos, psicológicos, físicos y sociales y culturales de las personas y del lugar. Este ha sido estudiado desde diversas disciplinas entre las que sobresalen la geografía humana, la sociología, la, la ecología, la arquitectura y la psicología ambiental (Anton, 2014(Anton, , 2016Devine-Wright, 2009Hashemnezhad, Heidari & Hoseini, 2013;Giuliani, 2003;Lewicka, 2005Lewicka, , 2010Lewicka, , 2011Lewicka, , 2013Massey, 2004;Mihaylov & Perkins 2014;Najafi & Kamal, 2012;Scannel & Guiford, 2010, 2017Sirgy, 2016;Tuan, 2007;Weller & Van Hulten, 2012;Williams & Patterson, 2008).…”
