Task

Climate change is here. As its impact intensifies over time, it is the children and young people of today who will face the worst effects.

But far from being passive victims, young people all over the world have begun to fight back on a scale never seen before. Take Greta Thunberg. In 2018, the 15-year-old from Sweden sparked a global movement of school-age students demanding greater action from governments to fight climate change. Now millions are marching to demonstrate their support.

Whether through education, technology, science, or law ─ young people far and wide are tapping into their skills to speak up for climate action.

At the Centre for Global Education , we are committed to helping young people take action to protect the future of our planet. We do this by raising youth voices on the climate crisis and by increasing youth participation to address climate change.

This is your opportunity to build leadership skills, network with like-minded people, and implement climate solutions in your community. The time to act is NOW.

The UNESCO Project Planner is divided into six sections that encompass the project cycle, which refers to the different phases of a project. In each section, you will find basic information and aspects to keep in mind through a series of guidance and self-reflection questions. Finally, at the end of each stage, there are links to different resources, tools and guidelines that can provide you with further details.
