Young People Tackling the Climate Emergency
In this micro-network, secondary, baccalaureate and vocational training schools are encouraged to undertake scientific research on matters relating to young people’s habits and how they can affect climate change. Based on the different topics presented each year, students come up with a research question and receive support from the expert scientific community.
Following some research, participating students propose one or two commitments to tackle climate change both at their own school and in the city of Barcelona so that they can be raised with the City Council and addressed.
There are opportunities for the students and the expert scientific community to share questions and results during the research process. The final results of the research project are presented to the expert scientific community and the other participating students before the end of the school year, in an event taking place over one morning.
