The focus for the climate change is on the grassroot level. It is a global problem, and yet each one of us has the power to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behaviour can help prevent greenhouse emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, they can save us money.
We do this theme and campaign in co-operation with our national climate change campaign here in Finland . The European Commission launched the climate change campaign in June 2006. They have their website in 19 languages. We use their motto "You Control The Climate Change".
As in the ENO programme we work in co-operation with UNEP we have included their children and youth activities into this theme. As ozone is a topic related to theme we will study about ozone also using UNEP OzoneAction Education Pack. UNEP has also organised a painting contest (by 31DEC 2006) .
We have also separately invited some school networks (UNESCO ASPnet, GLOBE Programme, Eco Schools, European Schoolnet etc.) to join this event.
