Climate Solutions Conference St Gilgen
Motivated and caring students from six local schools engaged in Climate Solutions using the Doughnut Unrolled. .
Collaboration and Community - if these two elements are at the heart of a successful green transition, we need to embed this in every element of life. And if education is one of six pivotal social tipping points (Otto et al. 2020), we have a responsibility to marry these elements and demonstrate how to make it happen!
With this philosophy in mind, students from local schools all collaborated together at our annual Climate Solutions Conference to engage with solutions of all kinds - from land use, eating habits and tech, to COP, equality, and youth projects. Having discussed what can be done, what IS being done and how to be a part of it, we moved into the place where it all came together - our Doughnut Unrolled session ably led by the wonderful Carolina Escobar-Tello, Schools & Education Lead at DEAL!
Students, staff and a few civic representatives were able to look through all the lenses, to establish priorities, challenges, and discuss solutions. It was wonderful to witness that many solutions are more efficient if we overlap. i.e. the sustainable catering solution can be one for many schools, a library of things can become a civic project, not school-wide...
It is empowering to discuss solutions in a manner which demonstrates how workable they really are. Obstacles are seen for what they are - social constructs which people can de/reconstruct. It is also so refreshing to understand one's context in the global scale. Rather than hiding behind the 'I'm just an individual, what's the point' attitude, a sense of collective individuals grows, representing solutions and a positive way forward.
