CREATING CLUBS BASING ON IMPACTING YOUTH WITH THE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO USE SO THAT THE CITIES ARE SUSTAINABLE.EXPERTS WILL VISIT CLUBS.
Description
Summary
THE PROPOSAL WILL COVER FROM PRIMARY SCHOOLS TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO THE COMMUNITY.SINCE IN OUR COUNTRY THE EDUCATION SYSTEM DO NOT PROVIDE GRADUATES TO BE INNOVATIVE RATHER TO BE THERE WAITING TO BE EMPLOYED,THEN THE PROPOSED CLUBS WILL COVER ALL THE KNOWLEDGE FOR CLIMATIC CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS, AS THEY SAY CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.THE CLUBS WILL ALSO EDUCATE THE CHILDREN AND THE YOUTH ON THE NIMBY ATTITUDE WHICH MAKES MOST OF THE PEOPLE TO SEE THAT IF THE WASTES ARE NOT IN THEIR BACKYARDS THEN THEY CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED.THIS SHOULD BE STOPED.AND IT WILL ONLY BE STOPED IF THIS ATTITUDE IS REMOVED.ON TOP OF THAT INVITING ENVIRONMENTALISTS WITHIN AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO COME AND VISIT THE CREATED CLUBS SO THAT THE TARGETED GROUP GET DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE WASTES AND ON HOW TO PREVENT MORE GREEN HOUSE GASES.WHICH TECHNOLOGICAL WAYS TO USE TO REPLACE ALL ACTIVITIES WHICH BRINGS ABOUT HIGH AMOUNT OF GREEN HOUSE GASES WHICH IN TURN AFFECTS THE OZONE LAYER AND OTHER ECONOMIC SYSTEMS.
ON ADDITION TO THAT,THE CLUBS WILL WORK HAND IN HAND WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATIC PROBLEMS.BUT FIRST,THE YOUTH SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY THE WHOLE ISSUE OF CLIMATIC CHANGES SO THAT ALL OF US ARE ON THE SAME TRACK AND IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO IMPACT THE KNOWLEDGE ON THEM.TOGETHER WE CAN.
CONSIDERING THE COMMUNITY,THE CLUBS WILL BE FORMULATED USING THE ADVERTS AND THE MEDIA LIKE RADIOS TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.FROM THERE IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO MEET THEM AND START IMPACTING THEM WITH THE CLIMATIC CHANGE KNOWLEDGE AND THERE AFTER IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO DISCUSS TOGETHER THE ISSUE.AND FIND SOLUTIONS.
Category of action
Youth Leadership on Climate Change
What actions do you propose?
THE PHYSICAL ACTIONS TO BE ADOPTED THAT WILL HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND /OR SOCIAL ACTIONS THAT WILL ENCOURAGE ADOPTION OF THOSE PHYSICAL ACTIONS CAN NOT BE ADOPTED BEFORE KNOWING WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS TO THAT.KNOWING THE BARRIERS WILL HELP US TO FIND THE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS.
REFERRING TO ONE WRITER BY THE NAME ALEXA SPENCE ,SAID THAT THERE ARE MANY BARRIERS WHICH MAKES CLIMATIC CHANGES TO BE IGNORED.
ONE,INDIVIDUAL BARRIERS LIKE LACK OF INFORMATION AMONG THE PEOPLE.PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF CLIMATE.THUS THERE IS A NEED TO MAKE THEM AWARE.
ON TOP OF THAT DISTRUCT IN INFORMATION SOURCES.MOST OF THE PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE IN WEATHER PREDICTIONS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO THE CLIMATIC CHANGES AND ITS IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY.THIS IS ALSO A HINDRANCE FACTOR TO THE SOLUTIONS OF CLIMATIC CHANGES.
FURTHER MORE,UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGES.MOST OF THE PEOPLE WANTS TO SEE IT FIRST BEFORE STARTING TO TAKE ACTIONS.THIS IS A PROBLEM AS WELL.
AGAIN,BELIEF THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A DISTANT THREAT MAKES PEOPLE TO RELAX WITHOUT TAKING ACTIONS.KNOWING THIS WILL HELP TO FIND A SOLUTION IN THE CLUBS.
IN ADDITION TO THAT FATALISM IS ALSO A GREAT BARRIER TO THE SOLUTIONS OF CLIMATIC CHANGES.COMMUNITY BELIEFS THAT ITS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE CLIMATIC CHANGES.THIS ALSO NEED A SOLUTION SO THAT IT STOPS.
CONSIDERING THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL BARRIERS WHICH WILL NEED SOLUTIONS,LACK OF POLITICAL ACTION IS THE FIRST BARRIER.TOO MUCH POLITICS WITHOUT IMPLEMENTATION IS EQUAL TO ZERO.THUS THERE SHOULD BE A STRONG GOOD GOVERNMENT WHICH WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE,TRANSPARENT AND COMMITTED TO FIND THE SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATIC CHANGES.
BUSINESSES AND THE INDUSTRIES SHOULD NOT BASE ON PROFIT BY 100 PERCENT BUT RATHER SHOULD CONSIDER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS AND THE IMPACTS TO HUMANS.
FREE RIDER EFFECT WHICH MEANS THAT PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR OTHERS TO ACT OR FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT.THEY ALWAYS WAIT FOR OTHERS TO ACT AND HENCE THEY DO NOT TAKE TIME TO FIND OUT THE CAUSES,EFFECTS AND THE SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATIC PROBLEMS.
THEREFORE,BELOW ARE THE PHYSICAL ACTIONS WHICH WILL BRING IMPACTS TO THE CLIMATIC CHANGES.
FIRST,PUTTING DUSTBINS ALONG THE ROADS SO THAT WE STOP THE HABIT OF DUMPING WASTES.WHOEVER WILL BE CAUGHT DUMPING ANYTHING OUT OF THE DUSTBINS THEN WILL BE GIVEN PUNISHMENT LIKE FINES OR ANY OTHER RELATED TO THAT.THE FINE COLLECTED WILL BE USED TO BUY MORE DUSTBINS AND FOR THE AWARENESS PROGRAMMES.
SECOND,PROVIDING WEATHER AND CLIMATE EDUCATION TO THE CLUBS .THIS WILL BE DONE BY THE EXPERTS OF CLIMATIC CHANGE AND THE VISITORS WHO EXPERIENCED DRAMATIC CLIMATIC CHANGES TO THEIR SOCIETIES.HAVING ONLY THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT WILL MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE AS FAR AS THE CLIMATIC CHANGE IMPACTS ARE WORSE.
THIRD,PLANTING TREES,THE FORMULATED CLUBS IN SCHOOLS AND FROM THE COMMUNITY WILL WORK HAND IN HAND SO THAT TREES ARE PLANTED ON THEIR AREAS OF LOCALITY AND THERE AFTER THE WHOLE COUNTRY BY SPREADING THE MESSAGE TO OTHERS .
FOURTH,THROUGH DISCUSSIONS IN CLUBS WE WILL FACILITATE THE CLUB MEMBERS FIRST TO START USING BIYCLES RATHER THAN CARS.ACCORDING TO ME PERSONAL CARS ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT IF TRANSPORTATION CARS AND BUSES ARE PRESENT.SO REPLACING CARS BY THE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHICH ARE GASES FREE WILL HELP TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF CLIMATIC CHANGES.
THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELDS OF HOUSEHOLD ENERGY USE,TRANSPORTATION,MANUFACTURING AND CONSUMPTION PATTERNS WHICH WILL HELP TO REDUCE THE HARMFUL GASES WILL ALSO BE USED AS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.FOR EXAMPLE,THE USE OF SOLAR ENERGY IN THE HOUSEHOLDS .
Who will take these actions?
IN THE GOVERNMENT THERE IS NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE(NEMC) WHICH DEALS WITH MAKING SURE THAT ANY PROJECT,BUSINESS OR INDUSTRY CAN NOT BE PERFOMED UNTILL THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT IS CONDUCTED.THUS THIS HELPS IN THE COUNTRY TO SOLVE CLIMATIC CHANGES THOUGH SOMETIMES IF POLITICS AND SELF INTERESTS PASS IN BETWEEN THEN RESULTS INTO CORRUPTION AND HENCE NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY.
ON TOP OF THAT.THE GOVERNMENT SET POLICIES RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATIC CHANGES OF WHICH NEEDS TO BE RESPECTED.
TALKING OF BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES,MOST OF THEM ARE PROFIT ORIENTED AND HENCE THE CONCERN OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY IS VERY MINIMAL,THATS WHY THERE ARE COMPLAINTS IN THE SOCIETY RELATED TO THE WATER POLLUTION ,NOISE POLLUTION AND AIR POLLUTION.ITS TIME NOW TO INVOLVE THEM IN THE DECISIONS RELATED TO CLIMATIC CHANGES.THOSE WHO FAILED TO ADHERE TO THE RULES SET WILL BE PUNISHED.THIS WAY WILL HELP REDUCING THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY.
OTHER ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS PLAYS A GREAT ROLE IN ENHANCING AND MAKING PEOPLE AWARE ON THE WHOLE ISSUE OF CLIMATIC CHANGES.A GOOD EXAMPLE HERE IS UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM (UNEP).
TALKING OF INDIVIDUALS IN RELATION TO THE CLIMATIC CHANGES,THEY PLAY A BIG ROLE IN THIS.BECAUSE IF EVERY INDIVIDUAL COULD BE AWARE AND TAKE ACTION ON CLIMATIC CHANGES THEN THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS COULD NOT PREVAIL IN THE SOCIETIES.THUS WE NEED ALL TOGETHER INVOLVE EVERY STAKEHOLDER IN SOLVING CLIMATIC CHANGES PROBLEMS.
What are other key benefits?
OTHER DESIRABLE OUTCOMES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE SOCIETY INCLUDES:
NATURAL RESOURCES SUSTAINABILTY.THIS IS BECAUSE ALL PROCESSES LEADING TO NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE CLIMATE AND THE COMMUNITY WILL BE REDUCES DUE TO ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED.
FOR THE SOCIETY THERE WILL BE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO EARN A LIVING.
ON TOP OF THAT ,HEALTH PROBLEMS RELATED TO ALL TYPES OF POLLUTION WILL BE REDUCED AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE DISCIPLINE IN THE SOCIETY BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL START RESPECTING THE LAW AND THE POLICIES.
STARTING TODAY,THE FUTURE GENERATION WILL ALL BE AWARE OF THE CLIMATIC CHANGES AND ITS IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITIES AND HENCE THE SUSTAINBLE GREEN CITIES WILL PREVAIL
What are the proposal’s costs?
THE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTIONS WILL BE VERY MINIMAL,BECAUSE BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THEM I WILL HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH ALL THE IMPORTANT STAKEHOLDERS RELATING TO MY PROPOSAL SO THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE ARRANGED AND IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY.
BEING MORE SPECIFIC,MAY BE STEALING THE DUSTBINS ALONG THE ROADS BY THEFT ESPECIALLY THOSE JOBLESS.
ON TOP OF THAT THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL THINK THAT THE PROPOSED ACTIONS IS FOR A PROFIT AND HENCE WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH THE CLUBS .OR THEY MAY EITHER IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT WITH CORRUPTION.
Time line
FOR THE SHORT TERM:(5-15 YEARS)
THE PROPOSED ACTIONS WILL MOSTLY BASE ON RESEARCH AND LOOKING FOR THE MANAGEMENT TEAM TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROJECTS,AWARENESS ,SENSITIZATION PROGRAMMES AND RECRUITING THE CLUBS SO THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ARE ALL AWARE OF WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO.HERE WILL INVOLVE GOVERNMENT,BUSINESSES,TEACHERS,STUDENTS,AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHO WILL WANT TO PUT AN IMPACT RELATING TO THE CLIMATIC CHANGES.HERE WILL BASE IN MY AREA OF LOCALITY.
FOR THE MEDIUM TERM(15-50 YEARS)
IT WILL INVOLVE ADDING NEW CLUBS PENETRATING EVEN TO THE NEARBY DISTRICTS AND WARDS.MORE ADVERTS AND MEDIA USE SO THAT IN THE COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE CLIMATIC CHANGES .FUND RAISING PROGRAMMES SO THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS SUSTAINABLE.
FOR THE LONG TERM(50-100 YEARS)
STRATEGIC PLANNING WILL BE USED HERE.MONITORING AND EVALUATION WILL BE APPLIED COMPLETELY HERE SO THAT WE KNOW WHERE WE COME FROM,WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WHERE WE WANT TO BE IN 50 YEARS TO COME.SUSTAINABILITY.
