Power in the City
By Carbon Coop
The way that climate change is spoken about in the media and by experts can seem a bit dry, abstract and doesn’t feel like it relates to you and me or where we live.
What can we actually do? Well, as it turns out - quite a bit!
Power in the City features authentic voices, places & stories showing the every-day ways that people are responding to the climate emergency from within their own neighbourhoods.
Our 1st series is based in Oldham.
Produced by Carbon Coop and funded by the Electricity North West Powering our Communities Fund, ICLEI Action Fund and UCL Grand Challenges.
