Power in the City

Written by: Carbon Coop
  • Summary

  • The way that climate change is spoken about in the media and by experts can seem a bit dry, abstract and doesn’t feel like it relates to you and me or where we live. What can we actually do? Well, as it turns out - quite a bit! Power in the City features authentic voices, places & stories showing the every-day ways that people are responding to the climate emergency from within their own neighbourhoods. Our 1st series is based in Oldham. Produced by Carbon Coop and funded by the Electricity North West Powering our Communities Fund, ICLEI Action Fund and UCL Grand Challenges.

    This episode is about the grind, the toil, the sweat, the slog, the graft, the duty - and things like skills and craft, commitment and creativity. Yes, it’s about work! The green kind. It’s about working in the energy transition. What exactly is a green job? How do I get myself one of those? What motivates folks who have one? And is it the same as a good job? Join us as we talk to people that hold green jobs and those that create the conditions for more of us to have one.

    This episode is all about staying warm. By putting a jumper on your home! Yes, it’s about the good old insulation trick - about retrofit, its benefits for householders and the difficulties (and nifty ideas) that arise when trying to scale that up across different building types and tenures. Join us as we hit home in Oldham and learn from local householders, crafts people and other brilliant experts.
