Youth Profiles: Verden rundt blandt klimaaktivister
19. november 2012
Siden juli har RTCC (Responding To Climate Change) løbende bragt artikler i en ganske fascinerende serie, “Youth Profiles“, som giver et enestående indblik i unges klimaaktivisme verden rundt – som for eksempel på billedet herover, hvor kinesiske studerende har lavet et tableau, hvor de studerer med stigende verdenshave mellem benene.
Der er foreløbig omkring 20 af disse Youth Profiles, og man kan herigennem opleve, hvordan klimaudfordringen bliver erkendt og sat på dagsordenen verden rundt, i lande som Nigeria, Mexico, Canada, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesien, Ghana, USA, Australien, Kina og Costa Rica, man kan møde arabiske aktivister og et afrikansk samarbejde om at forene videnskab og oprindelige folkeslags viden. Den fulde liste af klimaaktivist-portrætter kan ses nedenfor.
Det er en fascinerende rejse, som giver håb om en verden, hvor vi bedre evner at passe på vores omgivelser og værne om vores livsvilkår.
