Our Approach
-
At 360 Climate Institutes, we know sustainability is key so we have a smart approach
-
Our approach is edible greens approach: we focus on fruit trees and edible greens because they:
-
They take care of the environment and climate change
-
They Provide nutrition for a healthy working Nation
-
They are a source of economic empowerment as a source of income, and sustainability
-
Discourage logging – no one wants to cut a fruit tree once it starts bearing fruits
-
-
For afforestation, conservation and reclamation programs, we employ a dual approach of planting high carbon absorbing forest trees and edible trees
Environmental Stewardship & Climate Change
-
Indifference and lack of deliberate coordinated and informed approach and participation by the youth and community at large in the climate change agenda
-
Youth often left out: attitude that the agenda is too complicated and left to high level boardroom/ workshops forums
-
Lack of understanding and appreciation of the impact of environmental degradation and climate change on all humans/ animals/habitats and everything irrespective of status
-
Poor culture and practices leading to degradation of environment, wastage of resources and general apathy
360 Climate Institutes Change approach
-
Demystification and deliberate culture inculcation among the youth- placing them on the driving seat. Using innovative technology. With our 360 Green App is a complete game changer and will draw the young people to sit on the climate change App and play a pivotal role through Gaming, Animations etc.
-
Poor Culture of Tree Planting – no accountability system to nurture and monitor to maturity – big fuss on tree planting events then abandonment and drying up; repeat the same over and over with no results .
-
360 Green App coupled with organized groups and institutions with ‘adopt & nurture a tree’ culture approach are both a game changer and sure bet.
Breaking Barriers to Youth Empowerment
At 360 Climate Institutes we break barriers to youth empowerment:
-
We offer practical and relevant skills to empower the youth to earn a living and live decent lives;
-
We break barriers that prevent youth from accessing skills i.e
-
We do not charge fees for any of the skills we offer: all that we require is all trainees provide their own learning tools/ materials and adhere to the Institute’s strict code of conduct
-
We do not require minimum academic requirements especially for technical skills: we focus on practical/ field exposure 70% and theory 30%. Tuition is offered in language students can understand.
