Since early 2022, we have been collectively developing the concept of Solarpunk Nomadism.
From concept development, to the creation of the first two vehicles, their use on the ground and a series of co-creating workshops in India and Europe.
All the vehicles created by us are community-owned and employed to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and climate-resilient society.
WHO ARE THE SOLARPUNK NOMADS
Changemakers, dreamers, and builders who live nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles using zero-carbon emission vehicles - such as EV vans, EV bikes, sailboats or even traveling on foot- powered by renewable energies.
πThese nomads remain constantly connected to the internet through satellite connections and are proactive in forging a Solarpunk society.
π They are the storytellers and primary catalysts of a society where technology and ecological wisdom converge to craft a brighter future for all.
WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD
π Build the Climate Tracker tool to help regenerators monitor and improve their individual Climate Change Resilience. [2023]
π Develop an Interactive Map of the Future featuring Nomads, Safe Places, Routes and Tribes. [2023]
π Complete the Nomad Hub, a gamified digital platform for the nomads. [2024]
π Complete Solarpunk World Building, a decentralized set of tools to leverage collective creativity to envision a Solarpunk Future. [2024]
π Build the Solarpunk Nomads DApp to assist traveling changemakers in:
-monitoring and reducing CO2 emissions [2024]
-accessing community vehicles and safe places [2024]
-leveraging regenerative activities at the local level [2025]
WHAT WE HAVE BUILT SO FAR [DURING 2023]
βοΈ Completed a European Tour of Solarpunk World Building IRL workshops with events happening in London, Amsterdam and Berlin. 3+ months of travelling using only a bike, busses and trains. π«βοΈ
βοΈ The first version of the Nomad Hub, a gamified digital platform where: -you can explore the world of Solarpunk Nomads -you can discover the first ever Solarpunk Nomads Vehicles -you have access to the tools of the nomads, including the Nomad Fund, Solarpunk World Building, and in the future, the Climate Tracker and G.AI.A chatbot. Developed by our designer friend Adriana from Mexico!
