Place-based Climate Action
We facilitate place-based climate action processes that support urban development and placemaking projects anchored in a defined local area or neighbourhood. With our approach we invite public actors, local organisations, and other stakeholders to explore sustainability challenges as they show up in everyday use of space, local relationships, and urban development practices.
climate action within a postcode
Working with climate action at a local scale makes challenges tangible and grounded in everyday life. Focusing on a specific area brings attention to how climate ambitions intersect with local use of space, existing infrastructures, and social relationships. This helps anchor discussions in concrete realities rather than abstract targets. By starting from place, climate action becomes something that is shaped by who is present, how decisions are made, and what already exists. The experience creates a common reference for navigating complexity and long-term change together across stakeholders.
the experience: local climate action
Our collaborative processes are tailored to the local context and typically unfold through a combination of workshops, site-based engagement, and facilitated dialogue. Working directly in and with the place allows participants to connect discussions to lived experience and local conditions. This supports richer conversations and more informed choices. Attention is given to roles, relationships, and continuity over time, recognising that climate action depends on coordination across actors with different responsibilities and interests, creating the conditions for sustained collaboration rather than one-off initiatives.
