Climate Campaigners app
App promoting climate-friendly behaviours through challenges
DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
The Climate Campaigners app features diverse challenges that can help the general public to live more CO2-neutral lives. Customers can receive tips and inspiration, and track and analyse their CO2 savings – in detail and real time. The app connects customers with Climate Campaigners from 13 cities – from Dublin and Milan to Lahti. Customers can see which challenges are the most popular in real time and share their ideas and experiences with others. Completed challenges are rewarded with “Coins” that can be redeemed for such products as organic groceries. Users can connect with other users around the world and invite one another through social media and chat features to participate in particular pro-environment challenges.
