Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) ran a competition in Shanghai to come up with new ideas of how to communicate the risks of climate change and how people can adapt. Over 100 entrepreneurs, creatives, innovators, programmers and techie wizards gathered to share their world-changing ideas for adaptation. This competition was the first of its kind in China.
After a successful workshop with the innovation and entrepreneur community in Shanghai, the winning concepts were turned into two smartphone apps to build awareness of climate impacts in China. The smartphone apps project shows how public private partnerships can be a key tool in communicating important messages and information around climate change. It also explores new ways to maximize risk communication.
