Inspiring Climate Action

Have you spotted the striking Breathe:2022 artworks popping up around the borough, produced by Invisible Dust? Featuring over 1,000 drawings of six local activists, Lewisham resident and artist Dryden Goodwin invites us to imagine a clean air future for all. Look out for the art on walls and bridges and share your photos @WeAreLewisham.

A cast of over 1,000 school pupils gathered in Mountsfield Park in June to perform a call to climate action with dance and music. Young people are at the centre of the climate conversation. If you are near Deptford, pop into Richard MacVicar Adventure Playground to check out Lewisham’s new low-carbon creative space, Climate Home, designed and led by local young people.

Coming to People’s Day? Look out for a climate takeover featuring an inspiring programme of talks and workshops to get involved in. Come along, share your ideas and be part of the conversation!

See page 22 for details of climate-focused events coming soon.

Meet Muse

We have teamed up with Muse as Climate Programme Partner – their support makes it all possible.

Muse is a national developer, delivering some of the largest regeneration schemes across the UK that change lives within communities. In November 2021, Muse revealed its industry-leading sustainable delivery strategy, which has been behind its activity for some time. ‘Our Sustainable Future’ is Muse’s approach, setting minimum sustainability and social value standards for its developments going forwards.

Muse’s vision is to create sustainable developments that build brighter futures for generations, with five key objectives that are the cornerstone for all projects: Net zero carbon; enhancing biodiversity; circular economy; health and wellbeing; and social value.
