Funded by Irish Aid, the ‘Climate Heroes’ competition will see local groups across the country try to minimise their carbon footprints. The team-based climate competition will begin on Earth Day 2023, 22 April and last for two weeks.
Local community groups are invited to take part in the Climate Heroes challenge.
Everyone taking part will try to carry out as many climate-positive activities as they can, and our online app will translate the activities logged by participants into CO2 emissions saved. The team that has saved the greatest amount of greenhouse gas emissions are the winners of this exciting competition.
The Climate Heroes Challenge provides a unique combination of encouragement, education and real life climate impact, offering participants a menu of 40 climate smart activities, based on the four main areas of individual greenhouse gas emissions: Transport, Food, Consumption and Energy.
Using aggregated climate data and Life Cycle Assessment analysis per activity, the challenge provides a gamified, research-based platform that aims to engage people and create awareness about the big difference that small actions can achieve. The Challenge will be supported by workshops that build participants’ competencies for global citizenship.
