Welcome to Net Zero Visions!
Researchers from the University of Plymouth, in partnership with Devon Climate Emergency, have been teaming up with local communities and organisations, Devon-based artists, and transition experts, to develop ‘Net Zero Visions’ in different media and locations.
These ‘Commissioned Net Zero Visions’ were put to different uses in different places – from spreading word of existing net-zero initiatives, to sharing dreams, to supporting communities in developing local plans.
Net Zero Visions was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, with support from the University of Plymouth and the ERDF Low Carbon Devon project, also based at the university.

“We’ve found that murals are, perhaps most importantly, a way of supporting, fostering and catalyzing communities.
It gets them working and making creatively together
as they talk and think through the challenges that face us
in the context of net zero transition and climate emergency.”
