Climate Cool

WELCOME TO THE CLIMATE COOL NETWORK!


Climate Cool is a campaign which aims to promote taking personal action on climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to project an image that to do so is “cool” and trendy and a crucial element in the lifestyles of young global citizens in East Asia.
Climate Cool will achieve its aims by building networks of young people committed to taking action to limit the contribution they and societies make to greenhouse gas emissions. We will build the campaign around a highly interactive web site, which both holds content of relevance to action-oriented networks, and encourages debate and interaction between individuals and groups – both physically and on line.
