Act for Climate arose from our dissatisfaction with online resources giving insufficient guidelines to stop climate change. A lot of these lists focus on individual actions like using reusable bottles, but these steps are not activating enough and put the blame on the individual! We need steps that give people a sense of efficacy. The team has gained two members and is currently working on creating a promotional pitch deck as well as first wireframes for a project website. The visuals and design are nearly ready and we can’t wait to see what the project team presents to the wider team next week!

Team Lead: Liz Parsons

The team meets every Monday

The Data Sketchers need you! The team has so many ideas for topics, all backed-up by extensive research, but not enough time to create illustrations on a regular basis. If you are interested in data visualisation and illustrations, please reach out to Line de Carné to keep this awesome project going! The Data Sketchers post on Reddit and Instagram - don’t forget to follow ! :)
