Education Centre for Climate Change

This thesis project regards an Education Centre for Climate Change placed on Amager Fælled. Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps young people understand and address the impact of global warming, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour and helps them adapt to climate change-related trends. 

There is a true urgency to the global warming extinction emergency! Our average global temperature and atmospheric carbon levels are far too close to crossing the near-extinction and final extinction tipping points. This is a fact and something we need to face for many generations in the future, therefore it is important to educate people about this crisis. Especially our younger generation that will have to live with the consequences, need to be educated on how to live in a more sustainable way. There is a need more than ever to understand the profound influence that human behaviour has on the planet we live on. This Centre should be used as a tool to schools, parents etc. to help them inform and educate. 

The vision about this thesis project is to build an Education Centre for Climate Change. Where people, and especially our younger generations can learn about climate change, and how to act in the future, all in a context that interacts with nature.
