How and where take climate imaginaries shape? How are they popularized, and how do they actually affect everyday practices?
OpenImaginaries addresses the culturally produced ideas and ideals constituting the knowledge about the anthropogenic climate transformation, its consequences, and its prevention, which informs both processes of urban planning and individual practices of citizens. It investigates the interplay between climate imaginaries and climate action, and explores alternative ways of narrating and thus making sense of climate transformation.
Integrating a global perspective on the production and dissemination of these imaginaries with a micro perspective on local developments, allows to develop design principles for means and modes of storytelling and thus become tools in shaping climate action on the level of the individual and the community.
