Objectives

Increase awareness on the severity of the climate crisis and knowledge of existing technologies and possible actions to achieve this goal.

Define and disseminate a call to action to combat climate change.

Support educational pathways to develop citizen empowerment in communities.

Activate networks between people and organisations to promote the creation of a movement of ordinary citizens acting for a zero-emission world.

The climate crisis is now evident with increasingly violent dramatic impacts in Italy and in every area of the planet. 

The increased awareness about the severity of the climate crisis – which is now an existential threat – and about the fact that this crisis is brought about by human activity, must be accompanied by a determination to take personal action in one’s own community in order to address it. 

Through educational and empowerment pathways, “Cambio io, cambia il mondo” (I change, the world changes) project promotes inner transformation to make each and every person a protagonist in the challenge against climate change, fostering the building of bonds between conscious citizens acting in a network of global citizenship and solidarity of action.

As part of the “Cambio io, cambia il mondo” Campaign, the “Eredità della vita” (Legacy of Life) exhibition was born, focusing on the climate emergency and the 2030 Agenda. 

The exhibition aims to inspire hope and to inspire the visitor to make a promise, to feel responsible for the climate. Through the training of volunteer guides and the consequent sensitization of visitors, the project carries out an important activity of education on environmental issues and the empowerment of people, who become promoters of change.
