ZEROCARBONCITY
Macedonia

ZeroCarbonCity is the British Council’s global campaign to raise awareness about climate change and the energy challenges facing the world’s cities. An increasing majority of the world’s population are living in cities and a significant part of climate change is affected by the actions of people in these cities. That is why the British Council has decided to run a campaign that concentrates on the relationship between climate change and cities.

ZeroCarbonCity has been covering over 70 countries around the world with a wide variety of interactive events, including city debates, a touring photography exhibition, workshops, school projects, and experiments. There are possibilities to join the online debate, featuring opinions from scientists, technologists, city planners and policy makers.

ZEROCARBONCITY EVENTS IN MACEDONIA

The British Council, in cooperation with the British Embassy brought the ZeroCarbonCity campaign to Macedonia in March 2006. Jointly with the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning we aim to raise public awareness of environmental issues.

Please read below for more details on what has been organized in March 2006. For more information about the ZeroCarbonCity campaign in Macedonia please get in touch with us.

EXHIBITION TOUR

NorthSouthEastWest touring photographic exhibition is a major component of the British Council’s ZeroCarbonCity Campaign. It has been designed in partnership with The Climate Group and involves photography from the Magnum Photographic Agency.

Ten of the world’s top photographers from Magnum were commissioned to capture images from ten diverse countries around the world to illustrate the impact of climate change. These photographers were also asked to chronicle the range of solutions to reduce carbon emissions in communities from the north, south, east and west of the globe. This has produced some inspiring images, which detail the resourceful ways in which these communities have adapted. For more visit www.northsoutheastwest.org.
