On 1 October, seven people who had never met gathered at La Maison de l'Avenir in Geneva for our Urban Climate Circles workshop — an evening of climate art and science, creative steps, and an apéro in the middle.
Two ideas were born that evening. “Climate Carbon-Free Game” — a playful app that nudges its users to try new behaviours and, little by little, change their habits. And “Living Building” — a vision for building or converting housing with the community at its centre: shared spaces, vegetable gardens, non-toxic materials, and lower costs for everyone.
Evenings like this one remind us of something we often forget: that creativity, curiosity, and collaboration are powerful tools for climate action.
