Climate Voices Initiative
The Climate Voices Initiative is an immersive research project led by Inspiring Communities, supported by Dalhousie, that examines climate awareness and activism within underrepresented communities in Nova Scotia. Rooted in participatory action research methods, it targets African Nova Scotian (ANS) and African-descent youth and seniors and aims to amplify marginalized voices in the environmental dialogue and inform policy through grassroots insights. This grant is specifically supporting a research assistant who will use qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including ethnographic fieldwork, content analysis, and participatory data collection. Part of this work will include outreach and engagement on EV charging in ANS communities, including two HCi3-funded chargers at Akoma Holdings.
