Thursday October 5 2023 5 The environmental school facilitating climate action Last week, young climate activists staged a ‘fly in’ at the city council building, demanding the retraction of support for the proposed international airport at Tarras, Central Otago. Today we look at an initiative called the Climate Action Campus CLIMATE CHANGE has become a significant concern worldwide, especially for young people. In Christchurch, students are able to channel their concerns into action by running projects through a collaborative Climate Action Campus, based at the former Avonside Girls’ High School site and nearby red zone. Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery is the lead school, with primary and secondary students from Niki more than a dozen schools are getting Stephenson involved in projects to help bring environmental change. Said Climate Action Campus Ōtautahi director Niki Stephenson: “We understand that students have a lot of what we call climate angst and concern about the future, and we know that action is urgent. “We created this campus so that they can begin to take action. Kids will come with their passions and interests, and we will help them develop projects around them, so this campus has that ethos but with a lens on climate action. “Everyone from students, teachers, community volunteers, and city and government agencies are engaged, so the campus benefits from getting together as a ‘collective brain’ on the enormous challenges climate change presents.” The campus challenges students to start making climate action part of their everyday life, whether on campus or not. Students are taking on projects such as planting in the red zone, growing their own food, harvesting and cooking it, checking the water in the nearby Ōtākaro/Avon River, and looking at energy sources. “The joy of working with young people is that their ideas are amazing, and we are only beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible,” said Stephenson. The campus is supported by Rātā Foundation funding, helping students source project resources like greenhouses, irrigation equipment, beekeeping equipment, plants, and solar energy, which was installed in July. The panels help power the school and the Te Aratai Technology Centre, which shares BUSY BEES: Ao Tawhiti pupils learning about beekeeping at Climate Action Campus. “The joy of working with young people is that their ideas are amazing, and we are only beginning to scratch the surface of what is possible.” – Niki Stephenson the site. Said Stephenson: “Climate change is going to present many challenges, key amongst them is clean drinking water, food security, and energy security – so we are keen for students to tackle those with our support. “We’re hoping to be a very practical national and global example of how educators collaborating can support students to take action for their futures. “And we keep finding all sorts of groups and individuals who HANDS ON: The campus at the former Avonside Girls’ High School site delivers sessions for pupils at partnered schools, challenging them to make climate actions part of their everyday life. want to be involved, which is fantastic. “The big idea is that we would like to become a community energy hub so that when communities lose energy, there are places they can go to ensure they can charge their phones and cook a meal. “Ultimately the even bigger concept is a solar farm. We need something like 70 per cent more renewable energy in New Zealand over the next 20 years. That’s enormous, and schools are great places for it.” Rātā Foundation chief executive Leighton Evans said the programme’s strength is educating young people about climate change and its impact while empowering them to implement change. “Educating young people about the importance of sustainability, with hands-on, practical examples, gives them the confidence and agency to do their bit to combat the climate crisis,” said Evans. “Undoubtedly, the campus is a unique initiative with hopes it will inspire others. We are looking forward to seeing the project ideas it generates and the results.” In term four, a natives play forest project will start at the campus. A collaboration with Citycare and Sport Canterbury, the project aims to engage students in designing a natives play forest that will be accessible to everyone. Students will go to campus every week and work with experts on alternate weeks, to learn about propagation and be responsible for growing some of the plants from seed, planting saplings and being guardians. Climate Action Campus also runs events for adults, which can be found on their Facebook page.
