Why involve citizens in actions on climate change?

Wednesday, 17 March 2010, 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Chair in e-Government, School of Information Management and the School of Government invite you to a public seminar:

Why involve citizens in actions on climate change? The Danish CIDEA project and how it relates to climate change action programmes in New Zealand and Australia.

Presenater: Professor Jens Hoff

The Citizen Driven Environmental Action Project (CIDEA) is a four year research project funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council. The aim of the project is to help Danish municipalities engage their local community in efforts to effectively reduce its “carbon footprints”. As local councils in NZ and Australia have experiences along these lines through their participation in the CCP-Programme, there are lessons to be learned by scrutinizing this project.
