Raising students鈥 ecology awareness
Print Edition
What are the best ways to educate children about environmental protection? For Gunter Pauli, the answer is through fables.
An economist and ecological activist known for his book 鈥淭he Blue Economy,鈥 Pauli has written more than 200 fables inspired by what is happening in nature for Chinese children.
At a launch ceremony of a national competition for young Chinese students on environmental protection innovations, Pauli was invited as an online speaker to share his pedagogy of learning with the arts. 鈥淭he best way of expressing something for a child would be through the arts, be it a dance, drawing, or a song, but we need to have this unique capability to express ourselves through art,鈥 he said.
The competition, co-organized by the Center for Environmental Education and Communications of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Beijing Huanding Environmental Big Data Institute, encourages youngsters to express their ideas on environmental protection via drawings, poems, videos, and inventions.
鈥淪chools play an important role in raising the society鈥檚 environmental awareness, equipping people with the knowledge and skills to better participate in environmental protection deeds,鈥 said Jia Feng, director of the CEEC.
China has been carrying out nationwide campaigns to raise environmental awareness among its citizens as part of broader efforts to advance green development and meet its grand goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.
In an action plan released in February by the MEE and five other government departments, China clarified the role of different entities in society to realize a 鈥渂eautiful China.鈥
Enterprises should fulfill their environmental and social responsibilities while exploring innovative and sustainable business models, the plan said, adding that the country will step up support for non-profits conducive to the country鈥檚 environmental governance.
As a non-profit, the Beijing Huanding Environmental Big Data Institute applies advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, for environmental purposes and guides the younger generation to participate in environmental actions.
