net-zero VISIONS Toolkit & Book
The Net Zero Visions Community Mural Creation Toolkit and the Net Zero Visions Book, were created by researchers at the University of Plymouth in collaboration with Devon Climate Emergency, to inspire communities and provide practical resources and guidance in creating their own Net Zero Visions Murals to build awareness and support community action, in response to the climate emergency.
The Community Mural Creation Toolkit offers a practical, hands-on introduction to creating a net-zero visions mural.
Connect your mural with the Devon Climate Emergency!
We would love to see your mural!
“This toolkit is designed to bring people together
to work towards a sustainable, positive future for all.”
How to use the
Mural toolkit
Inside the Mural Toolkit you will find guidance on relevant topics for the different parties who might be involved.
The communities formed by these art practices will far outlast the murals created. The project is aimed at creating long-lasting ties between diverse groups in order to build strong communities that will work together for a greener future.
