Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) is committed to tackling the impacts of climate change head on. The Council’s Climate and Biodiversity Action Plan sets out how the district is going to respond to climate change and includes actions, ranging from reducing carbon emissions through more effective land-use planning and infrastructure design, to regenerating native forests.
The development of the plan involved extensive engagement with community and environmental groups, Kāi Tahu, not-for-profit organisations, climate experts and partner agencies. Initially launched in a static medium, NV was engaged by QLDC for the design and development of a new online presence to showcase the usability and accessibility of the Climate and Biodiversity Action Plan.
The user experience is highly visual, accessible and simple to use. The website collates information into easy-to-use sections that focus on key outcomes easily accessing local evidence for climate change information, tracking information on progress of the action programme along with a range of toolkits such as a household emissions calculator and reduction tool, community-led projects and much more.
