About Climate Connected
This project is building an easy to use set of tools that support people and communities to take the steps needed to help reduce climate change. There are supports to build a ‘decarbonisation’reducing the amount of Carbon Dioxide emissions committee in the community making plan for the local area to reduce carbon emissions. This also includes supports to help get people in our communities more involved in finding out how what we do in our everyday life that increases or decreases the amount of carbon we emit.
