What's on your reading list this weekend? Me? The latest report from CAPE - Climate Adapted Pathways for Education It's titled, Implementing Climate Change Education in Schools: Constructive Hope in Action report Scrolling through it, earlier this week, I could see immediately how it differs from other education and academic reports. For one, the inclusion of music lyrics. Music has always been a powerful force in my life. Tide Lines, whose lyrics you'll read in this report, were introduced to me by Heena Dave - the joy and hope-filled co-founder of CAPE. When I first listened to Tide Lines, I popped in my headphones, headed on a long walk where I live and was instantly transported home, though I couldn't work out why. Sure, I had fallen in love with Scotland on my solo travels there. But there was something else. Perhaps it was the band's appreciation for the power of nature. Perhaps it was because, whilst listening, all I could think about was a chat with my colleague, Heena, as we had walked through a London park together. She spoke of her hopes for this incredible climate change education work she had started on the side of her job. She was filled with a purposeful energy I greatly admired. It's not always easy to follow your passions, your values, and make a difference in the world. I had met someone who was and is doing that very thing. Each time I listen to the hope and joy-filled sound of this Scottish band, I'll always think of Heena, and I'll be reminded of the power we each have to make change in the world. Give this video a watch. Listen to some Tide Lines. Read this report. Let's take Heena's lead and turn our hopes into action! #climatechange #climateeducation #hopeinaction

Children and Grandchildren are our most precious and our Future! Sign now to Improve the Emissions Cap! Sign to improve the future for all! "The Emissions Cap Framework released in December is a positive start, but everyone agrees that it needs to be improved. We have until Monday February 5th, end of day, to share our thoughts with Environment Canada. (I apologize for the lateness, just sign once you read if no time) This is our chance to make sure loopholes are closed and the policy is implemented without delay. Send in a submission to make sure the oil and gas industry does its part in the transition to a fossil-free future!  We're sharing the submission as a one-click action, so you can contribute to the public consultation yourself. Send it as is, or change it to your own words. Either way, it will be sent in as part of the public consultation with one click.  Not sure you understand all the ins and outs of an emissions cap? We've set out six recommendations that are clear and easy to understand: Emissions cap targets must be more ambitious to align with the International Energy Agency’s recommendations and Canada’s goal of achieving net-zero by 2050. Loopholes such as carbon capture and storage and carbon offsets should not be relied on as pathways to emissions reduction.  The framework must better address indirect GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector. All emissions from the production and the use of oil and gas should be included in the emissions cap, including pipelines, refineries and LNG export facilities. Accountability, including penalties and fines, need to be strong enough to ensure compliance from the industry.  Regulations must be implemented without more delays - to be released this spring and implemented by the beginning of 2025.  The Government must put Canadians and a safe future for our children first. Recent polls have found a majority of Canadians support a strong emissions cap, and they expect the oil and gas industry to do their part to tackle the climate crisis." "For Our Kids is a parent-led network of volunteers, driven to take climate action for our kids, grandkids and future generations. We believe climate action is now an essential parenting skill. Join us in our fight for a resilient and just world where our kids and grandkids can grow up safe and healthy. Ready to take action? We understand that getting involved in climate action can feel overwhelming for some, but we are here to help you get started. We believe that connecting with other parents and families makes it easier, helps us stay motivated, and leads the way to real change." #Loveforourkids #Superpower ! https://lnkd.in/ezRUjCXW: //https://lnkd.in/ezRUjCXW

Di-Net could be a lifeline for climate survivors in the future, offering connections and opportunities for rebuilding lives.

Our Educational Mission: To build a strong foundation in truth, beauty and goodness in our children Little Olive Tree wants our children to see, understand and act based on biblical principles, values and perspectives in a world where truth is often distorted, beauty corrupted and goodness disregarded. To us, the chief end of education is not just academic and future employment success. That would be too short-sighted for our children’s own good. Instead, we endeavour to break the moulds of traditional education goals by putting our children on a quest to pursue Truth, Beauty and Goodness 📖✨❤ Read more on why Truth, Beauty and Goodness matters:

YOUR thoughts and ideas are essential for advocacy, representation, education, and inspiration. Speak!! The voices that rise will shape the future.

🔴 THE 2ND EDITION OF VOICES MAGAZINE IS NOW AVAILABLE! 🔴 🤳🏽 Read the full edition now! 🌬🍃 🔥 After going through the hottest out of the last 125,000 years (or perhaps the coolest we will have ahead), it becomes increasingly evident that those in power and with capital, the main culprits of the climate catastrophe we are already experiencing, are incapable of presenting solutions and models that change the destructive path humanity has been following. 🌱 In the pages of this second edition of VOICES Magazine, you will find stories, opinion articles, materials, and ideas that showcase what civil society groups, social movements, and Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Communities have been doing to face the current emergency and to build the foundations and develop solutions for a more inclusive, just, and truly effective climate action. 📣 VOICES Magazine is a publication of the Voices for Just Climate Action Program (VCA) in Brazil, and is collaboratively produced by representatives from more than 70 grassroots organizations, civil society, movements, and/or collectives that make up the 14 Coalitions of the Program, as well as partners and guests from Brazil and around the world who participate and engage in debates, struggles, and actions for climate justice. 🔎 To learn more about the program, which is in seven countries of the Global South, visit the website, access the magazine, and spread the word of climate justice by sharing with your networks: https://lnkd.in/gHB5gHb7

Over the past four years, we've had an artist from Drawing Change visually represent the key takeaways from our conferences. This graphic was produced during the keynote "Land and Economic Reconciliation: Leading Indigenous Perspectives on Development," with Karen Restoule, Kimberly Murray, and Chief Willie Sellars. Here are some of the key takeaways illustrated in the graphic: 1️⃣ Survivor Recognition: Honouring survivors is a key step toward reconciliation. 2️⃣ Truth Unveiling: Indigenous families have the right to know the truth about unmarked graves. 3️⃣ Balancing Act: Strive to balance stewardship and economic opportunities for sustainable development. 4️⃣ Progress in Unity: Celebrate progress and engagement; uplift and learn from one another. 5️⃣ Empowering Communities: Prioritize better education in Indigenous communities. 6️⃣ Cultural Exchange: Increase pow-wow attendance for cultural exchange and understanding.
