Young Climate Heros in the Making
Context
If just 16% of students received comprehensive climate education, that alone would reduce global emissions by 19 gigatons – equivalent to half the world’s carbon emissions in 2019.
Approach
Earth Warriors has designed a curriculum that empowers both teachers and students to engage with the issues affecting their local environment.
Impact
In 2022-2023, Theirworld will help Earth Warriors reach nearly 4,000 students.
Quality climate education
Education is “a critical agent” in the fight against climate change, according to the United Nations. Theirworld is helping Earth Warriors expand to Zambia, to deliver quality education to young people on the frontline of the climate crisis.
The programme will teach students aged three to 11 in 20 schools about the southern African region’s most urgent environmental challenges, including droughts and flooding. The curriculum will also be taken to Dukwi Refugee Camp in Botswana.
