Help ngo’s strengthen their understanding, reflect on their own experiences, and discover practical ways to contribute to climate solutions in their communities and beyond.
👇Download the Climate Youth Guide:
https://www.undp.org/…/climate-justice-youth-guide… a practical, rights‑based methodology that supports young people in identifying climate‑related harms, linking them to relevant rights and corresponding duties and obligations, and navigating mechanisms for action and accountability across local, national, and global systems.
Grounded in climate, human rights, and environmental law, the Guide frames legal empowerment as a tool to complement policy engagement, community mobilization, and institutional reform.

The 2nd Webinar of the “WAVE OF CHANGE” webinars,
Erasmus+ (025-3-ELO2-KA152-YOU-000372987) https://www.inedivim.gr/ today was a real revelation!
🇬🇷 Cyclades Unified (Greece) , hosted Professor Adam Klups, Care of Churches & Diocesan Advisory Committee Team Leader and Senior Church Buildings Officer at the Anglican Diocese of Gloucester, United Kingdom. The project partners from Finland, Malta, Latvia and Croatia, had the chance to attend the webinar under the title “What can churches and churchyards teach us about sustainability?” Mr. Krups explained the sustainable methods used for old buildings and answered to questions on biodiverity, too.
 
St. Edward’s Church, Stow-on-the-Wold, in Gloucestershire, was built on the site of a former Saxon church and the present-day edifice fuses various architectural styles. Whilst all of its authentic features are of interest in their own right, there is one feature that has become the most photographed door in the Cotswolds. The church’s north door, flanked by two ancient yew trees, to have sparked J. R. R. Tolkien’s inspiration for the “Doors of Durin,” the west gate of Moria that appears in a scene in the The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
The north porch of the church was built about 300 years ago and young saplings were planted to enhance its entrance. Today these trees are now part of the architraves for the door.

I am so happy to share that I’ve completed the “How to Build a Zero Waste City” training and earned my diploma from the Zero Waste Academy Europe! https://zerowasteeurope.eu/about/about-zero-waste/
This opportunity was offered to me by Ms. Solène Fargeix, Business Development Manager of the Mission Zero Academy (MiZA), to whom I deeply grateful for choosing me to become accredited and eligible to prepare municipalities in following the Zero Waste procedures.
The case studies I worked on had to do with Patras and Kimolos waste management, forming 9 assignments in total with my final on “How to build zero waste city”, with the Zero Waste Academy’s accreditation on Kimolos island.
From April 1st to June 1st, I deep-dived into an intensive, 41-academic-hour training program designed to transform how we think about, manage, and eliminate waste in our communities.
I completed a specialized training on Zero Waste Cities models across Europe and gained a deeper understanding of the recommended practices, building a strong network of collaborators.
This program wasn’t just about recycling more; it was a comprehensive blueprint for structural, systemic change. Through this academy, I have gained the specialized skills to:
• Design True Zero Waste Systems: Moving beyond basic waste management to implement the upper tiers of the Zero Waste Hierarchy (pre-management, prevention, and reduction).
• Leverage Data for Advocacy: Analyzing complex, waste-related data to build bulletproof arguments for local policy changes and sustainable infrastructure.
• Engage Key Stakeholders: Mapping out and mobilizing communities, businesses, and local governments to work together toward a shared vision.
• Champion the Zero Waste Certification System: Acting as a qualified advocate to help cities navigate the official basic-level Certification framework.
A huge thank you to the instructors and my fellow change-makers in the cohort.
Let’s build something cleaner, smarter, and truly sustainable!
