Bruntsfield Area Net Zero Action Initiative（BANZAI）」。

BANZAIは2021年に設立された非公式グループである。主な目標は2つある：(i)ネット・ゼロの達成を支援し、気候変動という緊急事態に対処するためのコミュニティのレジリエンスを構築するストリートレベルのコミュニティ・アクションを奨励すること、(ii)近隣で同様の、あるいは補完的なコミュニティ・アクションを奨励している他の地域イニシアティブと協力すること。

BANZAI is an informal group, established in 2021. We are centred in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, but aim to cover the wider area around us in south and south-west central areas of the city.

The challenges of dealing with the the damage arising from our overshoot of planetary boundaries for sustainable living are many and varied. Our civilisation has created a human predicament, which requires addressing a “wicked problem”.

As individuals, we can easily feel overwhelmed by the challenge. In BANZAI we work with neighbours and across the local area to identify and implement practical action to tackle the climate crisis.

We want to encourage a stronger, resilient neighbourhood in the Bruntsfield area and to engage with others in Edinburgh and Scotland to develop green, healthy, inclusive neighbourhoods that meet the real needs of the people who live there.
