Explore the energy transition, what it is, and how it can help build resilient and just futures for generations to come. You can explore how this change can happen at a local level through tutorials, videos and podcasts on the mPower Learn website.
The energy transition is a key part of how we can address the climate crisis: we need to ensure global emissions are reduced and homes and economies are resilient for years to come.

Tune in to our City Stories podcast
The energy and climate challenge is so big that it requires everybody to be involved. New ways of communicating are needed. What are the best means to shape new narratives and, in the end, to make people want to engage in changing the energy system? In this episode we talked with Laura Williams and Britt Jurgensen from CarbonCoop: one is a trained theatre practitioner, the other a political activist. Can we empower people more easily by merging art and activism?
