100 CLIMATE ACTIONS
100 Climate Actions, ranging from individual daily activities to large-scale advocacy, were gathered in collaboration with local residents in Hackney and experts, including climate scientists, a climate economist, council staff, designers, artists, and young students. Some may seem to contradict ideologically, while others share similar approaches, mapping the complexity of possible routes we can take in collectively deciding our future.
Each climate action card visualises the potential impact of a single climate action. Quantifiable actions show carbon savings at individual, group, and borough scales, while non-quantifiable ones draw on credible data to convey scale and relevance. Each card includes a scientific expert's quote highlighting its broader environmental significance. Take part in the project by sharing your opinions on climate through this survey.
100 Climate Actions was featured at Hackney's Low Carbon Banquet where 100 members of the public gathered for a Finale Banquet to conclude Hackney's Low Carbon Chinatown.
