GreenLearning and the Centre for Global Education (CGE) #Decarbonize program collaborated to help youth take climate action.

GreenLearning is so pleased to have facilitated creative expression for the environment along with partners participating at COP28 in Dubai through its innovative eCards! As the post below says, "Through eCard creation and group poetry writing, the students explored artistic avenues to amplify their commitment to climate action." Create a holiday eCard with a climate message! By sending an eCard to a decision maker, learners can express what they have learned through their environmental research and share on the topics that matter most to them.

#Decarbonize Student Climate Summit At COP28 in Dubai, #Decarbonize Youth, a group of passionate student climate activists, engaged in a series of impactful activities. From mock COP negotiations to eCard creation and manifesto presentations, their journey was marked by dedication and a commitment to driving change. Key Activities Included: 1. **Mock COP Negotiations:** The students immersed themselves in climate diplomacy, gaining a deeper understanding of global policy issues. 2. **Climate Stories and Storytelling:** #Decarbonize Youth developed and shared compelling narratives to convey the human impact of climate change. 3. **Public Speaking and Media Training:** The group honed their communication skills, ensuring they could effectively convey their message to diverse audiences. 4. **Creative Expression:** Through eCard creation and group poetry writing, the students explored artistic avenues to amplify their commitment to climate action. 5. **Presentation Practice:** Meticulous preparation for presentations paid off as they showcased their dedication at prominent pavilions. 6. **Engagements at Pavilions:** #Decarbonize Youth presented their manifesto at the Child and Youth Pavilion, Canada Pavilion, and UNESCO Pavilion, reaching some of the largest audiences in their advocacy journey. 7. **Meetings with Leaders:** The students engaged in discussions with honoured delegates and world climate leaders, contributing to the global dialogue on climate action. 8. **Live From COP:** The students planned and ran two live from COP virtual learning events with students from around the world. 9.**Lifelong Connections:** Beyond formal engagements, the summit facilitated the formation of lifelong connections among 40+ participating students. #Decarbonize Youth's journey at COP28 showcased the power of youth in shaping the future of our planet.

Environmental education is a powerful catalyst for positive change towards a sustainable future, whether through raising awareness at the school board level or equipping educators to teach climate action. That said, it’s hard to believe that this year is almost over! Our 2023 impact video highlights the work we have been up to. If you can, we encourage you to share the video or donate so we can continue to educate young people towards a greener tomorrow.

What a thoughtful reflection! Kindly read this post by one of our Board members and share with your network.
Approaching the end of the year, I've looked back at the different connections and re-connections I've made with people across my sustainability profession. I'm truly grateful to have joined as a board member this year for GreenLearning Canada Foundation. GreenLearning is a Canada-wide organization that creates accessible educational programs and resources for K-12 educators about energy, climate change, and green economy, helping students create positive, hopeful change. Last weekend our group met together in my hometown of Canmore, Alberta, to discuss how educators and their students can deeply benefit from sustainability resources that offer diverse solutions and perspectives. I'm happy to share that the most popular blog post on GreenLearning this year was "25 Environmental Books by Black Authors You Need on your Reading List." The list showcases how stories on sustainability can be challenging, complex, nuanced, or joyful - even all at once. A great reading list for the holidays or gift-giving idea for family, friends, and colleagues. https://lnkd.in/g_YCABtn
