A ‘climate change dashboard’ for Essex is one of the proposals being recommended to find a way of “worming” a way “into the hearts and minds of everybody where it actually really deeply matters to them”.
As part of the Essex Climate Change Commission’s recommendation over steps to reduce CO2 impacts in the county, it says an online dashboard that brings together annual carbon figures alongside more readily available data such as numbers of trees planted, air pollution levels, numbers of car-free streets, numbers of electric vehicles, traffic volumes, renewables capacity and tonnes of waste.
