Challenge #05
How can we communicate the impacts of HEATWAVES, and the benefits of adaptation / resilience?
The judges are looking for entrants to;
- Explore ways for communicating the topic that go beyond the traditional bounds / formats in which it's typically represented.
- Share 'place' based narratives that link to / showcase contextual stories and experiences.
​
- Consider how your entry to the challenge could connect with people and/or organisations that aren’t necessarily aware or engaged with this topic.
​
- Not just focus on the hazard, but also show actions that can be taken for adaptation and to change the consequences endured.
