Projects

There are so many people in Bristol who have skin in the game when it comes to the climate and social issues. There are leaders who know what challenges face their communities, and are working to overcome them. So why do they often not have a seat at the table?

We know that transport is one of the biggest hurdles in Bristol’s response to the climate emergency. Emilia’s time with WESTACT outside of Praxis Research works to jump that hurdle, and platform unheard voices in transport conversations in the West of England. 

‘The commons’ refers to shared resources – beyond the state and the market – that enable us to survive and thrive. We run courses exploring how to manage commons effectively, based on evidence.

We have heard time and again that Bristol needs better transport. We were delighted to support the Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership to develop a Bristol Transport Vision based on Community Climate Action Plans.

The Bristol Cable wrote four articles on transport as part of their ‘Future of Cities’ series. We spoke to experts and everyday Bristolians about how we can improve Bristol’s transport for the future.

The City Leap partnership is a key step in Bristol’s journey towards becoming carbon neutral. We are exploring how this could be an opportunity to put democracy and justice at the heart of our city’s Net Zero strategy.

Young people have an essential role to play in our climate future. We designed and hosted a model climate conference to give Bristol sixth formers a space to make their voices heard.

Across Bristol, people from all walks of life are taking action towards a more resilient future. This collection of videos and posters tells local stories of courage, determination and ingenuity.

Bold Leadership, radical action – We asked Bristol residents what they think about the climate emergency, and what steps they want from those in power.
