On 23 August, Day 1 of the WorldSkills Conference 2019 will host the session “Our planet in 2050: young people’s aspirations for an aware and responsible society”, where young Russian and international researchers will share their vision of solutions to global environmental issues.
The 18-year-old President and Founder of Green Hope Foundation Kehkashan Basu, the 13-year-old finalist of 3M-Discovery Young Scientist Challenge Anna Du, and engineer and inventor of galvanic waste disposal technology Anastasia Fedosova will tell their inspiring stories about development and implementation of projects addressing environmental issues and preserving the ecosystem, as well as about integrating the knowledge on climate change into educational programmes.
Environmental issues have become increasingly relevant in the modern world. It is no doubt that the society is ought to take care of them, otherwise, the world’s future is threatened. Sustainable development depends largely on the environmental education that changes people’s attitude towards nature, their patterns of thinking and behaviour, as well as economic and social development mechanisms. It also implies every country’s and every person’s commitment to the new principles of ethics, culture, and justice based on a system of restrictions and prohibitions that the law of biosphere development dictates.
Environmental education of the new generation is presently one of the main tasks, a challenging but interesting and rewarding one offering many opportunities and, when completed, resulting in grateful parents and children willing to make their school, street, city, and country clean and beautiful.
