Transitions to a Sustainable City, Geraldton WA: an applied study into co-creating sustainability though civic deliberation and social media.

The project (i) collaboratively designs, implements, and assesses inclusive deliberations; (ii) develops an innovative social media platform using supercomputer facilities that can assist informed public deliberation, translating scientific findings into easy to understand formats; (iii) researches the transformative effects of this deliberation on individual, community and Geraldton City carbon footprints.Funded Activity Details
