Project

Workplaces as climate actors, sustainable solutions through co-creation – TILKE

The TILKE project studies the climate agency of work communities (CAW) and the actions of workplaces with regard to climate change. The project work is based in particular on co-creation between the workplaces and the multi-disciplinary research group. The project will produce a TILKE model: agency index and co-creation process description.

Timetable

8/2022–4/2025

Objectives

  • The aim of the project was to collect information on the current climate agency of workplaces and the methods to promote it and concrete development ideas (trials)
  • Workplaces can use the TILKE model to assess their climate agency, examine the links between work and climate change, and think up concrete development measures
  • The target groups are work communities, supervisors, and HR

Data and methods

We will collect materials through a survey and interviews and by recording the workshop discussions. Some of the workshops will also involve a usability review on the work environment and spatial solutions, other will involve temperature measurements at the workplace and laboratory.

Results and impact

Results will be made available in 2025.
