Wednesday, June 5, 2024 – The Episcopal Church of South Sudan Environmental Network successfully executed a #climatechange campaign at Juba One Girls and Juba One Boys Primary Schools in #juba, #SouthSudan.
The initiative, led by volunteers, revolves around the theme: “Harnessing the Potential of Kids/Youth on Climate Change Mitigation and Adaption to Protect the World We live in.”
The campaign aims to instill awareness, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility among young individuals to actively participate in the fight against climate change. Utilizing banners, flyers, and engaging materials, the ECSSEN campaign team educates students on the causes and effects of climate change, as well as strategies for mitigation.
During the recent engagement on June 4, students from both schools displayed remarkable support for climate change initiatives, showcasing their eagerness to contribute to environmental preservation efforts. Their enthusiasm underscores the readiness of young minds to address the challenges posed by the Climate Crisis.
With anticipated support from environmental organizations, partners, governmental bodies, and the church, the ECSS Environmental Network envisions a nationwide Climate Change campaign targeting over 100 schools across South Sudan’s 10 states and 3 administrative areas, and impacting more than 3000 students from primary and secondary schools. Additionally, the network plans to establish and sustain environmental clubs in schools, fostering activities such as tree planting, briquette making, waste management, and promoting water and sanitation practices, among others.
By investing in the youth, the ECSS Environmental Network believes it is taking crucial steps towards mitigating the Climate Crisis in South Sudan.
