Last Wednesday, the City, in collaboration with the University of Cape Town and funded by the European Union, launched Climate Campaigners, a free mobile app that offers a variety of sustainability-based lifestyle changes that will enable citizens to contribute to the City’s commitments to climate resilience and carbon neutrality by 2050.The app is a global climate action tool that combines behavioural and social science research with grassroots activism.
Every citizen in Cape Town needs to contribute and partake in climate activism in order for the City to meet its climate goals. Small actions taken in concert can have a significant impact.The Climate Campaigners app is a community-based platform that aims to inspire Capetonians to choose challenges that will benefit their communities while also lowering their carbon footprint.
The app provides advice and inspiration while tracking and analysing users’ CO2 savings in real-time. It also provides a network for like-minded campaigners to network, share experiences and encourage one another.“The project is grounded in science right from the outset,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Energy Councillor Beverley van Reenen. “It will provide important anonymized data and findings that can serve as a foundation for policy recommendations for climate action.
As part of the initial rollout of Climate Campaigners, Cape Town is joined by 13 other cities around the world, including Milan, Italy; Dublin, Ireland; and La Libertad, El Salvador, each with unique challenges tailored to each city’s needs. The project, which is set to run for two years, aims to increase the number of cities involved.
