The “Caravan for Climate” is a project designed by the French Institute in Serbia in 2018, and this year is being implemented in partnership with the Centre for the Promotion of Science, with the support of the European Delegation in to Serbia and the United Nations Development Programme in Serbia, and with funding contribution of the Project “EU for Natura 2000 in Serbia”.
By connecting the fight against climate change and the protection of biodiversity, the Climate Caravan 3.0 strives to reinforce citizens’ awareness of the importance of knowing and identifying protected species and the importance of protected areas on the territory of Serbia.
In late 2019, the scientific community sounded alarm on biodiversity breakdown and climate emergency, after IPBES published Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Thus, it was decided that 2020 should be a year with a worldwide focus on biodiversity conservation. By connecting the struggle against climate change and the protection of biodiversity, the “Caravan for Climate 3.0” aims to raise awareness of the importance of getting familiar and identifying with protected species on the territory of Serbia. This year, the Project is designed and developed with exhibitions and interactive exhibits which are the major and most influential part of it.
It will be inaugurated on 29th September 2020 at 11:30 in Niš, in the Officers’ House, with the organisation Zeleni Ključ, which will be in charge of the Project’s mediation with the youth. Representatives come from the Centre for the Promotion of Science, the European Union Delegation to Serbia, the United Nations Development Programme in Serbia, the Serbian Ministry of Environmental Protection and the French Embassy.
If you are a passionate fighter for biodiversity conservation and climate, join us in the challenge of the project “Caravan for Climate 3.0” on social networks by creating a short video Why Climate Change and Biodiversity Conservation. Don’t forget to use #KaravanZaKlimu3 and #SviAktivni!
