The Climate Stripes created by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading in 2018. They creatively show the global average temperature rise over nearly 200 years

WHY?

A growing Climate and Biodiversity crisis, alongside rising inequality and systems that benefit the few

Young people’s health and wellbeing is increasingly impacted by climate change and work culture, alongside nature disconnection

A need to increase opportunities within mainstream education for creativity and values-based learning for future careers and everyday life

New 21st Century skills and thinking are required to address global issues and meet the demands for sustainable business practice

“The thing about climate is that you can either be overwhelmed by the complexity of the problem or fall in love with the creativity of the solutions.”

Mary Annaise Heglar
Climate Justice Writer and podcast "Hot Take"
