The Problem
Despite widespread scientific agreement on the urgency of climate change, there is a notable lack of individual engagement in combating it. This issue is exacerbated by complex and inaccessible systems for tracking and trading emissions, making it difficult for consumers to make sustainable choices. Additionally, the overwhelming scale of the problem often leaves individuals feeling powerless, which hinders motivation for adopting climate-positive behaviors.
The Goal
The primary goal of the Curren-C project is to empower individuals, particularly in developed countries, to take meaningful climate action by seamlessly integrating sustainability into their daily lives.
