Delegates have arrived in Sharm El-Sheikh for LDC prep meeting ahead of #COP27. 30 yrs and 26 COPs later, we have a much clearer understanding of the scale of the climate crisis, what is needed to deal with impacts & the urgency for reducing GHG emissions. Time for implementation
Thanks @Educaid for the opportunity to open your @ClimateChangeEd conference & for all the twitter activity. We must learn how the world is, and how it functions, but also how we can change it. If not, we are simply reproducing unsustainable relationships through education
The Sustainability Resource Collection (SRC):sharing some texts from the collection. This one was chosen for its title 'Engaging People of Sustainability', sums up the intention behind the SRC. Start on p.15 and check out the exercises in chapter 3 #SDGs https://t.co/Ig8sQL2NYa

Check out our new SRC-housed at the JMH. Resources are suitable for businesses seeking to engage employers in sustainability; teachers who seek to bring sustainability alive in the curriculum and school grounds and NGOs/community groups seeking to engage people in sustainability.
We have established, in partnership with Cultural Services, a collection of resources on people's engagement, learning & education. The initiative supports those who are seeking to involve young and old in the transition towards a more Sustainable Gibraltar.
'The world is lurching from crisis to crisis, trapped in a cycle of firefighting and unable to tackle the roots of the troubles that confront us.' UN report Oct 22. This happens because of our inability to embrace sustainability. Summit of the Future is now postponed until 2024.
We must recognise the time for changes in the global systems is now. If the world is to truly find love, peace and prosperity, the structures that exist to create global stability must be rebuilt on the principles of fairness and the inclusion of all nations. #UNGA
