Objects in Dundee are alive!
Join us on our #DundeeClimateJourney
You may have noticed some interactive signs popping up on objects around Dundee, asking people to have a friendly chat. Using Hello Lamp Post, an innovative engagement platform that makes public spaces interactive, we’re looking to share projects Dundee City Council has undertaken to address climate resilience and adaptation across the city and share information about how to prepare for the changes our future will bring as a result of climate change. Users will even have the opportunity to win a prize if they take our Dundee Climate Action quiz!
