    YOUTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE A Series of Research Papers. A collaborationbetween Project uP and ENACT. The Papers. Youth Procrastination and Climate Change Muskaan Aggarwal, ENACT Anagha V. Nair, Project uP Climate Change Action through Education: Strategies to Integrate CCEE in Schools M. Nuzhath Khanam, ENACT Angela Singh Bedi, Project uP Mainstreaming Gender in Climate Change Action: A Nuanced Approach Varishtha Singh, ENACT Unmuktman Singh, Project uP Youth Procrastination and Climate Change Muskaan Aggarwal, ENACT Anagha V. Nair, ProjectuP Abstract The climate has been undergoing a rapid change for the worse, for the past several decades. India, particularly in the last few years, has seen deadly examples of floods, heatwaves, extreme rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, forest fires, cyclones, etc., to name a few results of increasing global warming and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are giving rise to climate change. While some actions are being taken to tackle the problem, it has been noticed that the majority of the human population has been finding reasons to avoid engaging in any work or activity related to climate change. So why is this the case, and why this habit of procrastinating can have deadlier consequences for the human population? This paper aims to analyse how the habit of procrastination in human beings can be related to climate change. The fact that people have been putting off acting on climate change has often been cited as the main reason for the situation of the climate today. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse human thinking behind procrastination and describe how the relationship between youth, procrastination and climate change might not always be intentional.

  • Concept Note
    Concept note The « Culture of peace» concept was first defined in Africa, during the International Congress on «Peace in the Minds of Men», organized by UNESCO in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, in 1989. According to the definition adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, a Culture of Peace consists “of values, attitudes and behaviors that reflect and inspire social interaction and sharing based on the principles of freedom, justice and democracy, all human rights, tolerance and solidarity, that reject violence and endeavor to prevent conflicts by tackling their root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation and that guarantee the full exercise of all rights and the means to participate fully in the development process of their society”1. In Africa, the concept of a Culture of Peace is rooted in the values, belief systems and forms of spirituality, local knowledge and technologies, traditions and forms of cultural and artistic expression that contribute to the respect of human rights, cultural diversity, solidarity and the rejection of violence to build democratic societies. The idea of launching the Biennale for a Culture of Peace draws its inspiration from the Charter for African Cultural Renaissance2, which advocates that culture is the most effective mean for enabling Africa to increase its share of worldwide scientific production and overcome the challenges of globalization. Moreover, this Biennale is fully in line with the Action Plan for a Culture of Peace in Africa, which was adopted in Luanda (Angola) during the Pan-African Forum «Sources and resources for a Culture of Peace» jointly organized by UNESCO, the African Union and the Angolan Government in March 2013.
