Climate change affects all of us, but not in the same way. It will likely lead to inequalities within and across nations and between current and future generations. Climate justice is a term used for framing global warming as an ethical and political issue, rather than one that is purely environmental or physical in nature.
Crowd4SDG strives towards the mitigation of this phenomenon. This three-year Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action promotes citizen science projects tackling the climate-change-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Université Paris Cité and its associated research lab Learning Planet Institute among the partners of the project.
Crowd4SDG is launching its third call for projects #Open17ClimateJustice focusing on SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the #Open17ClimateJustice.
Why get involved?
You can get involved by developing a project that tackles these SDGs using crowdsourcing; (information gathered or actions taken by a large group of ordinary citizens).
Once the call for projects is completed, the #Open17ClimateJustice challenge will offer a five-week online interactive coaching programme tailored to global innovators to the selected 50 applicants, to help them connect and turn good ideas into viable social innovation projects and prototypes.
Five teams will then be selected to participate in an online challenge-based innovation workshop, led by project member, CERN IdeaSquare. During the workshop, teams will learn how to build a functional prototype for their project and connect with communities and social innovation experts who can help to launch and sustain the project.
The top two teams selected by a jury will be invited to present their projects to potential UN and NGO partner organisations, as well as impact investors, on the occasion of the Geneva Trialogue event.
