The \u2018Climate Action Heroes\u2019 project links climate action with economic regeneration. It aims to empower young people to imagine and create desirable futures for themselves and their community as they progress into adulthood. Young people across the globe are taking leadership in climate action, as evidenced by Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion, their voices are raising unprecedented engagement. However, beyond protests and strikes, provision for young people (particularly within the most deprived societal sectors) to engage in long-term place-based climate action is scarce.<\/p>\n
The project will engage with schools in some of the most deprived areas in Hackney. It aims to develop young people\u2019s \u2018creative leadership\u2019 capacity by boosting skills which are less attended through the school curriculum. It focuses on aligning their personal aspirations with sustainability values, empowering them to envision and create policies, enterprise and environmental championship in their community.<\/p>\n
We partner with Citizens UK Hackney, service design agency Snook, Hackney Council, local schools and enterprise incubators. The project has been conceived between all partners to produce contributions at several levels by combining research, co-creation of resources, skill development and public engagement:<\/p>\n

<\/i>Many young people grow up in homes where making ends meet is the main focus of everyday life. This results in poor participation in public life, which keeps them locked into disadvantage. The Covid19 pandemic aggravates the situation \u2013 whilst the urgency to address economic and environmental issues increases, opportunities for young people decrease as they are leaving school in a time when job prospects are severely reduced, placing their wellbeing at risk.
