Since 1998 the Learning Circles of the Global Teenager Project (GTP) are connecting students and teachers from over 40 countries, to explore new ways to learn and collaborate. Now you are also a GTP member. Enjoy meeting your global classmates!
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda.
In this Learning Circlewe will do research about Sustainable Development Goals which are aimed to Protect our Planet:
Sustainable Development Goal 7
Affordable and Clean Energy
Sustainable Development Goal 13
Climate Action
These two SDG's go hand in hand to highlight where we stand today in regards to Climate Change and what we can do to stop the devastating effects thereof on the planet. The Clean Green revolution is in full swing. Not only to make energy more environmentally friendly but also to ensure it is affordable and accessible to all people.
In this Learning Circle, you can share your experiences, stories and opinions. We invite you all to learn and work together to make the world a better place.
For an introduction to SDG's 7 and 13 and 'The Paris agreement' see page Resources

Good luck and have wonderful summer ahead!
