31 may, 2024≈ 3 min read

The first episode of "Children for the Earth: The Podcast from Kids to Grown-ups" premieres today, on the eve of World Children's Day!

Since raising environmental awareness among children is a first step towards ensuring a sustainable and accessible future for all, this project included their indispensable role as they, in a creative and fun way, show us their perspectives on topics such as climate action, biodiversity and sustainability. Caring for the planet is within anyone's reach; small gestures can make a big difference.

In this first episode, we will learn how children see nature. Discover what they value most about nature and what they suggest for us all to take better care of it.
