Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice.
Post-COP26’s efforts of reaching 1.5ºC warming, and other global attempts to reduce global warming and/or its effects seems relatively unattainable, especially in these unprecedented times where countries are yet to recover from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important, therefore, for countries to develop alternative ways to cope with, and solve global warming and climate change threats. One potentially helpful way is through climate change education – equipping young people with the right knowledge to deal with climate change, now and in the future.
Education is an integral part of climate action, in terms of identifying climate change problems, raising awareness of the scale of the problem and developing just solutions well suited to tackle the already identified problems. This applies to all forms of education, and Green Growth Africa understands the vital role education plays in achieving this desired end – to bring the effects of climate change to its barest minimum.
Through its yearly climate event, Green Growth Africa in partnership with Bard College, USA helps to empower African youths, particularly secondary (high) school students to engage in climate action through education and peer-to-peer discussions.
