<p>In response to the 1.5-degree goal of keeping global warming within the limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius to well below 2 degrees Celsius of the Paris Agreement, the 1.5-degree lifestyle concept has been proposed. The 1.5-degree lifestyle favours green lifestyles, and most people are not in line with the standard, which requires great efforts from the public to change their lifestyles. Changing lifestyles could be extremely challenging depending on the environment in which they live. With the acceleration of urbanization, the difference between urban and rural areas is increasing. The focus of this article is 1.5-degree lifestyles in urban and rural areas. The paper concludes that the main factors driving the 1.5-degree lifestyle gap are the level of urbanisation, population density, food, mobility, housing, education, the economy, digitalization and administrative efficiency. These factors, in turn, lead to different challenges and opportunities in urban and rural areas. The article provides some reflective recommendations based on the Education Technology Governance Framework according to the listed factors in order to promote 1.5-degree lifestyles in both urban and rural areas.</p>
