Climate Action Campus

This the first of its kind in the country. It’s designed to help students understand, know about and take action on climate change.

​

Climate change places an incredible responsibility on all of us; we are the ones who can ensure the planet remains livable for people and all other living things.
 

For children and young people in particular there is a clear sense of urgency. They face unprecedented changes in the climate that will affect every aspect of their lives. This reality can induce a sense of hopelessness and despair, a sense that there is no future- a sense of climate anxiety or angst.
 

It is essential there are opportunities for children and young people to not only understand climate change, but to be part of the collective response to its impacts through participation in climate change planning, decision making and action.
 

There is a need for children and young people along with their whānau, kaiako and wider community to be aware of possibilities and actions.
 

This is where the Climate Action Campus comes in.
