We’re pleased to join the call for a halt on deep sea mining - in a time when all the scientific evidence is telling us to stop oil and gas exploration to limit global warming, it also makes no logical sense to further damage the environment by ploughing ahead mining minerals from the seabed.

Greenpeace Africa partners to empower African youth for climate action

Greenpeace Africa partners to empower African youth for climate action

Greenpeace Africa has partnered with Force of Nature & Mindworks to empower African youth for climate action who volunteered from Kenya and South Africa for the training on how to help young people in their communities turn anxiety about the climate crisis into action.

24 of the youths who got lucky to be trained are currently delivering their first-ever virtual classes to “mobilize mindsets”.

Next Monday marks the start of the “Climate Anxiety to Climate Action” classrooms. Volunteer facilitators have been trained by Force of Nature, an international youth-led organization, in how to help the emerging generation of leaders (ages 16 – 24) channel feelings of frustration, anger and anxiety about the climate crisis into solutions.

Force of Nature is a launchpad for young people to step up, rather than shut down, in the face of the climate crisis.

Through virtual programmes, they help their student network spanning 50+ countries to cultivate mindsets of agency, purpose and resilience; develop the knowledge and tools to be effective; and drive real solutions to the planet’s messiest problems.

Force of Nature works with decision-makers across business, policy and civil society to drive intergenerational solutions – consulting Fortune 500 companies such as P&G, Unilever, and PepsiCo. As featured in The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Financial Times.

The virtual classrooms have been designed to focus on mindset, as one of the most important – yet underutilized – tools in our response to climate change.

Classes will run for ~2 hours and be open to 10 young people per session (13 sessions total) from across Africa, running over January and February. Sign-ups are now open via the Eventbrite link here.

“The classroom helped me forge through my toughest feelings of frustration and anger; I can now output these feelings as meaningful actions towards fighting climate injustices.”

–        Patience, Greenpeace Africa volunteer, Kenya

The project was initiated by Force of Nature, Greenpeace Africa, and Mindworks (Cognitive Science Lab).

Facilitators from Force of Nature delivered the 4-month training programme for volunteers, equipping them with the tools, resources and knowledge to facilitate their own classes.

The project was started because lots of young people across Africa want to take action on climate change, yet feel powerless to do so.

Force of Nature and Mindworks are experts in “mobilizing mindsets” – including the role of psychology in empowering people to take climate action.

They have helped hundreds of young people around the world channel the feelings created by climate change – anxiety, fear, distress, frustration – into making a difference.

Mindworks is a cognitive science lab within Greenpeace, which helps the organization design initiatives that are more effective at changing people’s mindsets and behaviours.

They use insights from neuro- and social sciences to better understand the emotions and psychologic fabric of their audiences.

They then turn that knowledge into practical applications for campaign, communication, fundraising and engagement teams so that they can increase the impact of their work.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic worsened mental health difficulties globally; especially in young people.

There is growing awareness of the role climate change now plays. In the UK, over half of child psychiatrists surveyed said their patients were experiencing environmental anxiety.

Comparable research is yet to be conducted in Africa, yet the team at Force of Nature have witnessed the rise of “eco-anxiety” on a global scale; they spent most of 2020 delivering online “Anxiety to Agency” classrooms for aspiring change-makers in Tel Aviv to Jakarta, New York to Managua.

“This classroom gives you a sense of community and that there are many like yourself, feeling the same way you do. You are not alone.”

–        Amrita, Greenpeace Africa volunteer, South Africa

This series of virtual classrooms is the final stage of training for Greenpeace Africa’s 24 volunteers, before certifying as Force of Nature facilitators and bringing their classrooms into physical classrooms across Africa and Kenya.

Greenpeace Africa is a growing movement of people acting in protection of the environment.

Their campaigns use peaceful, creative confrontation to expose environmental injustices around the world and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future.

The oil spill in Mauritius reminds us of the danger fossil fuels pose to our environment 💔💔💔And to make matters worse, the Mauritian government is considering SINKING the vessel:“Out of all available options, the Mauritian government is choosing the worst one. Sinking this vessel would risk biodiversity and contaminate the ocean with large quantities of heavy metal toxins, threatening other areas as well, notably the French island of La Réunion. Mauritians had nothing to gain from the MV Wakashio crossing their waters and are now asked to pay the price of this disaster. More pollution further risks their tourist-based economy and fish-based food security.” - @greenpeaceafrica

We continue to stand in solidarity with the affected communities in Mauritius, and call for the polluters to be held accountable for the harm they have caused to this precious ecosystem! ✊

The #Mauritian people depend hugely on the waters surrounding them. Now a cargo ship running aground off the #coast spewing 1000s of tonnes of #oil and diesel into the #water has poisoned the food chain and covered the shoreline in waste. The very #ecosystem of the island and people's livelihood, food security, health are under threat, in the midst of the #covid19 #pandemic . #mauritius does not have the capacity to get out of this alone, and the heart and soul of the #island nation is looking at a wound that might take decades to heal. . . I was lucky enough to experience this uniquely french/Creole speaking #african and largely #hindu nation. I cannot stress the importance of all things #beautiful here, from the #nature to the #people. While far away, this remain an #ecological #disaster that is in every way part of our larger fight for climate survival.

Seus valores são feitos por suas idéias! Salve, não seja salvo. Se virei um alvo é porque o meu alvo é a maior e a mais forte humanidade, sem medo e sem vergonha de dizer e mandar em quem acha que manda. E humanidade está cansada de ouvir suas desculpas mal lavadas sobre a sua visão de saúde e educação. Estou cansado de seus extratos bancários, é sério!? Você não é maior eu!!!  Porque a sociedade em que eu me enquadro luta por mais saúde e educação para a humanidade e ensina a humanidade que ela ainda tem muito a aprender sobre seus valores, e a sociedade em que me esquadro não julga pobre, rico ou classe média e sim seus valores e ganância e acredita que a única coisa a ser explorada na humanidade é sua capacidade de salvar quem ainda não percebeu que juntos podemos direcionar as maiores potência do mundo. Não seja um carente, e sim defenda-o. Vai, se liga! O seu lado da corda não é o mais fraco!!!​ #greenpeace#greenpeaceusa#greenpeacebrasil#greenpeaceworld#greenpeacemarrocos#greenpeaceparis#greenpeaceru#greenpeacejp#greenpeaceafrica#greenpeaceuk
