The European Climate Pact: Together in Action
🌍As a Climate Pact Ambassador, Eirini was invited to join “The European Climate Pact: Together in Action” in Brussels on 1 February, 2023 representing Sustainability for Students. We heard from a great selection of panel speakers including the Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmersmans; Deputy Director General on the European Commission Directorate-General for Climate Change; heads of municipalities; and fellow Climate Pact Ambassadors.
The Forum provides a platform for young people to engage in a dialogue with Member States and other actors to voice their views, concerns and galvanize actions on how to transform the world into a fairer, greener and more sustainable place guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Youth Forum will address the theme of ECOSOC and the 2023 UN High-level Political Forum on sustainable development (HLPF) on “Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at levels”. It will also review progress in the areas of clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and partnerships for the goals (SDG17).
Sustainable Creative Charter Pledged
Renewables Greece Conference Partnership, 2022
We partnered with the Voice of Renewables to offer our support in the organisation of the conference RENEWABLE Greece taking place in 14 and 15 April 2022 in Athens, Greece. Renewable Greece is an internationally recognised high-profile conference gathering all professionals involved in the development of the wind and solar industry in the country, from key decision-makes though to service companies.
We recently signed the Sustainable Creative Charter as we believe that the creative sector can have direct and indirect environmental consequences. We hope that all creative individuals and practices alongside organisations who commission creatives will join us in making this commitment.
Projects
01. What does the future look like to you?
What does the future look like to you? We opened up our platform to essays between 300 and 1,500 words on what the future looks like to our readers and writers: this manifesto was based on fiction (such as a climate-positive utopia) or scientific predictions - what does 1.5C look like? The piece looked 10 - 20 years into the future and it should describe what you think or hope about our future.
02. Our Collaboration with Terra Movement
We believe in building a community with like-minded organisations and initiatives. We collaborated with Terra Movement - an artivist movement which aims to make a difference and help the planet by using art and design. They want to provide a platform for artists and creatives who are also concerned with the climate crisis and other challenges our planet is facing and make them feel empowered that they can use their skills to create a positive impact. We collaborated to bring to life our recent piece on the role of shame in climate change activism through Sofia's creative eye.
03. First & Second Athens Community Book Swap, 2022
In spring, 2022, we gathered in downtown Athens to swap our books. We successfully swapped approximately 50 books amongst our community in Athens.
