The Best Climate Practices (BCP) aims at giving a complete overview of our concrete actions for dealing with climate change, while stressing the wide range of possibilities that, if implemented by politics, economics, institutions, enterprises and researchers, could make a decisive difference. The aim of the project is to help propagate best climate practices, showcasing a compendium of existing climate change measures and practices, plus new initiatives: all of these are specifically catalogued according to the theme they focus on.
The observatory is an interactive platform that collects a selection of best climate practices that deserve attention for their originality, positive impact in dealing with climate change impacts, implementation potential and replicability at the local, regional, national and global level. Through an interactive world map, the observatory makes it possible to locate the best practices and evaluate which geographical region deserves more attention. Contents are browsed by different filters allowing users to choose the research that better fits their needs.
The initiative seeks to involve a wide range of participants. Researchers, organisations, enterprises, policy makers and citizens are strongly encouraged to get actively involved in the development of the platform by submitting new practices at any time, and rating the best ones on the occasion of the yearly BCP Contests.
Also, through the Kick Start Your Project section, users can find a range of financial solutions for all those participants who have brilliant ideas on fighting climate change but do not have the necessary resources to get started.
Finally, Best Climate Practices represents a useful tool for creating a network to discuss and share new viewpoints and proposals for dealing with climate change impacts.
