“One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.”
The topic of climate change can be very frustrating and when only focussing on the facts very harmful in its action potential. Therefore, it is important to share what is already being done, empower rural areas that their stance in this is important because they are essential players in the field of maintaining or even restoring natural resources while already oberserving many of the damages caused by the climate emergency. With ‘GIRA’ we hope to foster civic engagement and show that there are already good examples, where people-led movements have started combatting climate change in their unique way. Every participating rural area – in Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland and Greece – have shown that a variety of different efforts already exist. Feel free to review our transnational project meetings and see what other initiatives might have already begun. Climate change doesn’t stop at borders!
