Annual neighbourhood climate market: practical solutions for climate-friendly living

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
Many people want to make their everyday lives more climate-friendly, but often do not know what concrete steps are possible or how they can implement them. The biggest hurdles are currently time, financial resources and implementation effort (source: Population survey pilot district). As a result, many opportunities for reducing greenhouse gases remain unused. The idea is an annual neighbourhood climate market in the pilot neighbourhood of Alt-Wiedikon and Binz. The event brings concrete solutions for climate-friendly living directly into the neighbourhood and makes climate protection visible and feasible in everyday life. At various booths, initiatives, organizations and experts will show practical ways to reduce greenhouse gases, for example: • climate-friendly nutrition and vegan cooking ideas, food stalls • Foodsave and prevention of food waste • Sustainable mobility in everyday life (e.g. testing cargo bikes) • Biodiversity and greening in settlement areas • Workshop on building insect hotels/hedgehog castles/bat boxes/swallow nests for families • Urban gardening and local food production, sale of seedlings • Repair Café • Community projects for sustainable living. The event motivates neighbourhood residents to take concrete steps in everyday life and reduce their personal CO₂ footprint. The character is info-tainement - content is conveyed and discussed in a playful way. Through encounters, exchange and practical examples, a network for climate protection in the neighbourhood is created. The market stalls encourage visitors to exploit their scope of action for a more climate-friendly life. The community experience strengthens motivation. Environmental organizations and agencies are becoming better known and more accessible through this market.
