WorldCAN is an initiative from the larger scientific and sustainability solutions development efforts at Lifel (www.lifel.org).
The WorldCAN initiative is designed to bring long-term thinking in the governance and management of environmental resources, which is often missing in our current political and governance systems.
WorldCAN addresses this problem by bringing children and youth into environmental governance and management. Children and youth have an inherent self-interest in protecting, nurturing and growing environmental resources in order to safeguard their own future. WorldCAN empowers youth and children by spreading awareness and constructively directing their imagination and enthusiasm in developing technology-led, cost-effective local solutions for the community’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Could children and young citizens play a role in the management and regeneration of a community's environmental resources? Join us in this unique initiative and help develop a vision for the environment in your own community.
