Building the Future We Want

A joint action of the Parents and the School to build an umbrella sustainability strategy for the European School of Varese. It unites all school initiatives helping our community thrive, eg. the Greener Green (Erasmus+project on digital learning for sustainability), the Green School (Lombardy’s Regional Schools’ sustainability framework), Kiva & Prodas (anti-bullying programmes).

Sustainability

The Parents of the European School of Varese are working together with the School to bring a sustainability strategy to life which involves all our communities, based on the sustainable development goals. Please feel free to join us! Contact: parents.association@agsev.it

What is Sustainability?

We are in the middle of a man-made climate crisis, with human behaviour pushing us up against planetary boundaries. Climate scientists tell us that continuing with business as usual will push us to cross these boundaries, tipping us into irreversible climate change – and tell us that we have 10 years to make meaningful changes.

The United Nations has offered us the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals offer individuals, organisations, governments and financial institutions a road map out of the climate crisis. The EU is playing its part and has pledged to cut emissions by 55% compared to pre-industrial levels by 2030.

Sustainable transition is a change that everyone needs to know about, and we all have a part to play in building the future we want for our children.

Sostenibilità

I Genitori della Scuola Europea di Varese stanno lavorando insieme alla Scuola per dare vita ad una strategia di sostenibilità che coinvolga tutte le nostre comunità, basata sugli obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile. Non esitate a unirvi a noi! Scriveteci a: parents.association@agsev.it

Cos’è la sostenibilità?

Siamo nel mezzo di una crisi climatica causata dall’uomo, con il comportamento umano che ci spinge contro i limiti del pianeta. Gli scienziati del clima ci dicono che continuare a comportarci come al solito ci spingerà a superare questi limiti, facendoci precipitare in un cambiamento climatico irreversibile – e ci dicono che abbiamo 10 anni per fare cambiamenti significativi.

Le Nazioni Unite ci hanno offerto gli Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Questi obiettivi offrono agli individui, alle organizzazioni, ai governi e alle istituzioni finanziarie una road map per uscire dalla crisi climatica. L’UE sta facendo la sua parte e si è impegnata a ridurre le emissioni del 55% rispetto ai livelli preindustriali entro il 2030.

La transizione sostenibile è un cambiamento che tutti devono conoscere, e tutti noi abbiamo un ruolo da svolgere nella costruzione del futuro che vogliamo per i nostri figli e le nostre figlie.
