Liu Xi, the project leader, introduced that the project team has been carrying out various activities, training, meetings and other ways to promote the establishment of low-carbon schools in Yunnan Province, building a platform for cooperation and exchanges between schools to improve the awareness of climate change among teachers and students, and using scientific and technological means to support schools in implementing carbon emission reduction.

On September 27, 2021, the official launch of the European Union-Humana People to People Yunnan Low-carbon Schools Pilot Project of Anning City was held in Anning City Education and Sports Bureau. Project officer Qi Chao shared a demonstration lessons of the lower and higher grades through heuristic interaction including the introduction of the definition of garbage, the harm of garbage to the earth, and the importance of garbage classification.

The project begins by increasing partners’ awareness and advocacy on climate change mitigation and environmental protection, by raising climate change awareness among 600 schools, 70,000 students and teachers, determine the emission benchmark through basic calculation, and then implement emission reduction work in 50 Carbon Compliant Pioneer Schools. Use science, technology, innovation and other means to respond to “climate action” to accelerate environmental sustainability and promote the transition from green campuses to low-carbon and carbon-neutral campuses.
