Global Action Days 2021
My Actions Matter
Over the last four decades, Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) has focused on the development of five cutting edge programmes that are recognised globally as key enablers in the field of Education for Sustainable Development. FEE continues to strive to create positive impact worldwide. Aligning with the Agenda 2030, FEE has identified three overarching goals that address three burning environmental problems that face us today – climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution. These are also the themes of the 2021 Global Action Days campaign.
About the Campaign
The Global Action Days 2021 Campaign, in partnership with Now.Here., engaged youth through the Treasure Earth app in small positive actions (Handprints) that each one of us can take to become more compassionate towards Earth. The campaign mobilised the power of our network and demonstrated how small individual action can have a great impact on our own and our Earth’s wellbeing.
The campaign was designed as a 21-days journey of ‘Compassionate Actions’. These actions inspired participants to live and act differently by crystallising intentions into concrete actions and new patterns of positive behaviour.
Week 1 – Protect Global Biodiversity
Week 2 – Reduce Environmental Pollution
Week 3 – Empower Climate Action
A message from our President, Lesley Jones
“We’re delighted to be celebrating Global Actions Days and raising awareness of the positive action that is taking place around the world to create a more sustainable society.
We’re proud to work with members in 77 countries – reaching out across the globe to thousands of businesses and organisations, as well as millions of students. The commitment and innovation of those involved in FEE programmes can’t be underestimated and deserves to be showcased on the global stage.
Hundreds of stories have already been shared – from students in Turkey using insects to protect forests, to a Latvian holiday park making the switch locally sourced energy. I’d encourage everyone to make the most of this opportunity and take part in Global Action Days; promote positive action, share learning with international partners and help inspire the rest of the world.
Finally, on behalf of FEE, I’d like to thank our members, partners and programme participants. Thank you for everything that you do to bring about positive change. By working together, we can ensure a sustainable world for us, our children and future generations.”
