LOS JÓVENES EXIGEN QUE SE TOMEN MEDIDAS EN RELACIÓN CON EL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO: ¿TENDRÁN LOS EDUCADORES LA SABIDURÍA Y EL CORAJE PARA RESPONDER? William C. Kyle, Jr. College of Education, University of Missouri - St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT | In the late-19th century, scientists began issuing warnings about humanity raising the planet’s average temperature by burning fossil fuels such as coal. For over a century, scientists published warnings focused upon the environment and climate change. Fortunately, youth around the world are taking action to ensure that preventing climate change is a global priority. On 15 March 2019, hundreds of thousands of youth around the world walked out of school demanding governments, policymakers, educators, CEOs of major corporations, and adults do more to address climate change. Ironically, many politicians and educators expressed concern that the protests were interfering with education. Really? I wonder why raising consciousness regarding a global crisis facing humanity is an infringement upon one’s education. I hope educators will have the wisdom and courage to respond to the demands of youth, transform educational practice, and engage with a research agenda focused upon the global challenges facing humanity. KEYWORDS: Environmental education, Science education, School-community initiatives, Youth-led activism.

  • The Australian Democrats Andrew Bartlett*
    Australian Cultural History Vol. 27, No.2, October 2009, 187-193 The Australian Democrats Andrew Bartlett* The Australian Democrats had maintained a presence in the Senate since 1977, but the 2007 election threatened to end their representation for good. Their efforts to retain seats proved to be in vain. Keywords: 2007 election; Australian Democrats; Senate Following on from the 2004 election, where the Australian Democrats lost four seats (including the Democrat seat Meg Lees had taken with her when she resigned from the party in 2002), plus official parliamentary status and balance of power in the Senate, the Party faced a very difficult task in the 2007 election trying to keep its four remaining Senate seats. Right throughout John Howard's fourth term, opinion polls showed public support for the Democrats consistently scraping along rock bottom levels of 1 or 2 per cent, as they had ever since the Lees resignation and the related public implosion of Natasha Stott Despoja's leadership in 2002. Even though the removal of the Democrats from the balance of power after the 2004 poll led directly to the Coalition government gaining control of the Senate, where it frequently used its majority to stifle scrutiny and bulldoze through some controversial legislation, the Democrats were unable to use this situation to build public support for returning the Party to its traditional Senate watchdog position. The Party had avoided going into debt in its 2004 campaign, so there were sufficient funds to run a basic campaign in priority areas for the 2007 election. However, serious use of paid advertising was not feasible.

  • 1 Parliamentary Privilege and the Common Law of Parliament
    Parliamentary privilege and the common law of parliament: can MP’s say what they want and get away with it? Carren Walker1 Introduction Parliamentary privilege can be broadly defined as the powers, rights and immunities of parliament and its members. The privileges enjoyed by the parliament are linked historically to the privileges of the UK House of Commons which have their origin in the procedures of the Parliament of Westminster: ..to be found chiefly in ancient practice, asserted by Parliament and accepted over time by the Crown and the courts of law and custom of Parliament.2 The privileges of parliament are defined by the rulings of each House in respect of its own practices and procedures when a matter of privilege arises. The use of the terms ‘history’, ‘procedure’, and ‘tradition’ give the impression of uncertainty, and make those in the legal profession feel most uneasy. The legal world is inhibited by statute, rules, forms and precedent, surrounded by the cocoon of the common law as developed by the courts. Parliamentary privilege and the development of the common law of parliament is based on different principles to those of the common law as developed by the courts. It certainly bears little resemblance in its form and structure to legal professional privilege. The privileges of parliament have changed over time, some are simply not relevant in our modern parliamentary democracy (such as freedom of members from arrest), others (such as the power to detain a person in breach of the privilege) have fallen out of use. These privileges tend to develop as the need arises in a particular House.

  • Greta Thunberg: the Voice of Our Planet
    Berkeley Leadership Case Series 21-180-017 February 16, 2021 1 Greta Thunberg: The Voice of Our Planet “Over 1,000 students and adults sit alongside Greta on the last day of the school strike. Media and news reporters from several different countries gather around the crowd at Mynttorget Square. Many people believe she has achieved more for the climate than most politicians and the mass media has done in years. But Greta seems to disagree. “Nothing has changed,” she says. “The emissions continue to increase and there is no change in sight.” - Malena Ernman (Greta Thunberg’s mother) i At the age of 17, Greta Thunberg is one of the most powerful voices in the global movement addressing Earth’s climate crisis. Thunberg has successfully stepped up to create a call to action, reached a massive audience, and rallied support across multiple nations. Her activism and sudden rise to the world stage has earned her numerous honors as the youngest Time Person of the Year and two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. “The Greta Thunberg Effect”, as journalists have dubbed it, has compelled politicians and government officials to focus on climate change. Despite her accolades, however, Thunberg believes there remains much to do before the planet is truly safe and healthy. “Our house is still on fire,” she warned earlier this year. Going forward, how can Thunberg scale her movement to deliver substantive policy change? The Problem of Climate Change Since the mid-20th century, scientists and researchers have attributed the exponential increase in global temperature (see Exhibit 1) to an increase in human activity.

In Deutschland kennen viele noch Luisa Neubauer als Kopf von "Fridays for Future" - aber es gibt noch viel mehr lautstarke Mitstreiter auf der ganzen Welt. FOCUS Online zeigt, wen Sie noch kennen sollten. 1. Alexandria Villasenor (14 Jahre) - USA Alexandria Villasenor ist im Norden Kaliforniens geboren. "Als ich die Verbindung zwischen den Waldbränden und dem Klimawandel verstanden hatte, wollte ich etwas tun", sagt die 14-Jährige. Im Dezember 2018 begann sie mit dem Schulstreik – als eine der ersten in den USA. Für sie seien Schulstreiks einer der besten Wege, um Druck auf Menschen in Machtpositionen auszuüben, sagte Villasenor in einem Interview mit " Mashable ". In den USA ist "Fridays for Future" noch nicht so verbreitet wie in vielen Ländern Europas. Villasenor glaubt, dass das vor allem an der fehlenden Bildung rund um das Thema Klimawandel liegt. "Hier in den USA wird Klimawandel als Meinung deklariert." Deshalb ist eines ihrer Ziele, dass alle in ihrer Heimat verstehen, dass die Klimakrise auf Wissenschaft und Fakten basiert.
