CLIMATE LITERACY MODEL

The Climate Literacy Model is one of the Providence Foundation's most ambitious educational initiatives, designed to empower local communities, especially the younger generations, with practical and scientific knowledge about climate change and its effects. Funded by Fondo Acción, this model seeks to educate children, youth and adults about the importance of adaptation and mitigation of climate impacts on the islands.

The program is based on a community-based and participatory approach, with the creation of an environmental classroom in educational centers such as Bomboná. Through a variety of educational tools, including teaching materials such as stories, school books and activities in school gardens, the project promotes a greater understanding of environmental care and the need for collective action to combat climate change.


In addition, the Climate Literacy Model addresses issues related to food sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and the use of environmentally friendly agricultural and fishing practices. This model not only improves environmental awareness, but also builds capacity in local communities to effectively and sustainably address climate challenges, thereby protecting the future of Providencia and future generations.
