Areas of Focus

Action for climate Empowerment (ACE)

ACE refers to the Article 6 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Convention Text which focuses on education, training, public awareness, public access to information, public participation, and international cooperation. Our Project aims to be one of its catalysts and "mover" through climate change education. 

Adaptation

The Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines climate adaptation as adjustment in natural and human systems in response to an expected/actual climatic effects, which moderates harm or tries beneficial opportunities. Since most of our project members are in vulnerable developing countries, we decided to focus in community-led adaptation. 

Capacity-Building

The UNFCCC recognizes capacity-building as an important element of the means of implementing climate-related actions. The role of children and the youth in climate action was first recognized in the UN Joint Framework on Children, Youth and Climate Change or JFI. The ATO-ClimatEducate Project uses social and creative activism as a platform to initiate capacity-building initiatives.
