Mapping
We are on the look out for people who can help Imagine Leeds develop a mapping tool for the Climate Action Leeds project. We want this tool to allow the storage and analysis of data from Climate Action Leeds projects as well as to inform our strategies both in communities and across the city.
​
Climate Action Leeds' City Plan Lead, Anzir Boodoo, is currently developing a data platform for collating and analysing data and mapping information.
​
Together these tools will be used to help and challenge Leeds City Council and other organisations so we can all push for a zero carbon, nature friendly, socially just Leeds.
​
If you have any experience of working in these areas, know of any data that would be helpful for the project or need information for your project then get in touch with Anzir Boodoo at anzir.boodoo@ourfutureleeds.org.
