Beyond individual thinking and actions

So much climate change thinking and action is based on individual thinking and actions. This can lead to a simplistic view of the crisis, and a strong sense of disempowerment and guilt. The crisis is a systemic one and must be understood at a systems level.

By orientating students towards a systemic outlook and by mobilizing them into projects with a systems perspective, the Academy offers a safe, creative and empowering framework for young people to engage with the crisis.
