CLIMATE JUSTICE
ACTIVISM
Educate and empower youth
to address climate change and climate justice
Climate education & climate justice education is vital in a world, where the poorest countries experience the consequences of climate change much more than the countries causing the biggest amount of CO2 pollution.
Many students are only limited taught about climate change, and many young people don’t know about the inequalities of climate change. Others don’t have a community to express their opinions.
In order for the young generation to use their voices in the climate debate and drive positive change, they need education on how climate change affects social issues, how to promote activism and how to be a role model for others.
In short, we want to:
educate the climate justice ambassadors of tomorrow
