The Ripple Effect / Le Ripple Effect
Collective Climate Action for the Oceans / Action climatique collective pour les océans
Introduction / Présentation
The Ripple Effect Program is part of Waves of Change, a Canadian bilingual project (English/French) that engages youth through a continuum of educational opportunities in every province and territory, in both urban and rural communities. It blends physical events, digital engagement and a climate action tracking tool to further climate action across Canada. Waves of Change provides learning opportunities to Canadian K-12 youth that make clear connections between climate change, ocean health, and daily actions that can reduce greenhouse gases, to inspire their peers and broader communities to take climate action. Ocean Wise, TakingITGlobal and GreenLearning co-developed Waves of Change and were a successful coalition of applicants to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund.
Le programme Ripple Effect fait partie de Waves of Change, un projet canadien bilingue (anglais/français) qui implique les jeunes à travers nombre d'opportunités éducatives, dans chaque province et territoire, dans les communautés urbaines et rurales. Il associe des événements en personne, un engagement numérique et un outil de suivi de l'action climatique pour favoriser les actions contre le changement climatique à travers tout le Canada. Waves of Change offre aux jeunes Canadiens de la maternelle à la 12e année des opportunités d'apprentissage qui établissent des liens clairs entre le changement climatique, la santé des océans et les gestes quotidiens qui peuvent réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, afin d'inciter leurs pairs et leurs communautés à agir en faveur du climat. Ocean Wise, TakingITGlobal et GreenLearning ont élaboré conjointement Waves of Change et ces entités ont formé une coalition qui a été retenue par le Fonds pour dommages à l'environnement d'Environnement et Changement climatique Canada.
