Localizing digital responses to the global climate crisis: Carbon footprint application
Abstract
Can we scale digital responses to the climate crisis into global solutions, or should we adapt them to local contexts? How will digital solutions be impacted by the varying effects of climate change in different regions? This workshop aims to explore these questions using the Carbon Footprint Tool Applications in Taipei, Hamburg, and Shanghai as case studies, examining the intersection of global and local approaches to address the climate crisis.
Takeaways
The workshop highlighted the effectiveness of structured discussions focused on future climate crisis scenarios, leading a diverse aspect of team members from city science labs to engage and discuss possible solutions, interventions, and collaborative opportunities.
Inspiring conversations around key climate crises in different contexts. The workshop drives valuable engagement and collaborative problem-solving among diverse network members.
Diverse local contexts serve as a ground for out-of-the-box thinking rather than hindering innovation.
Innovative solutions like the Taipei Blueprint-based digital tool and the Cool Paths concept illustrate the potential for impactful, scalable ideas addressing various global challenges.
Projects across regions inspire and adapt to tackle similar challenges, fostering cross-disciplinary solutions.
