Doranie and Teshanna led presentation of various Climate and Environmental related topics, such as the Three Rs, Pollution, Causes and Effects of Climate Change and the role young people can play in protecting and preserving the environment. 🌱🍃

How can the fight against climate change be just? 🤯
The climate discussion extends beyond the environment; it’s a matter of human rights as well.

Climate change threatens lives, livelihoods, and increases disparities. That’s why it’s so important to address the environmental issue while prioritising fairness and human rights.
Climate justice is necessary, for the people and the planet. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🌍

𝐆𝐄𝐈 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 || In observance of EARTH DAY 2024, the Guyana Environment Initiative wishes to unveil our recently completed mural titled "𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝."

The mural depicts a compilation of environmental messages, such as:

1) Mother Nature sustains the entire world, the trees and waterways of Guyana, contribute to the world's lungs.

2) Harnessing natural sources of energy, towards a low-carbon trajectory.

3) Highlighting some of the various alternative energy sources; WIND, SOLAR & HYDRO.

4) Humans are the central force in ensuring the earth is preserved.

Could you spot other elements in this mural that evoke other environmental messages?

This mural is located on the wall of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Guyana and was made possible through the collaboration with IAMovement, under the project 'Advancing Climate Democracy' funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). GEI firmly believes in the power of education, and hence saw it as an ideal opportunity to execute this mural at a central location of Guyana's premiere University, to ensure that the minds being molded at the institution could be impacted by the messages of the mural.

GEI wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Professor Dr. Paloma Mohamed- Martins for the support in making this idea a reality.
