SUMMARY:Connecting Children to Nature and Sustainability and Resilience Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:  \nTowns and cities have an opportunity to reprioritize resources to foster children’s connection to nature connections while meeting sustainability and resilience goals. \nMore than ever\, our towns and cities are at the front line of the climate crisis facing growing risks from extreme heat\, sea level rise\, and flooding from storms and excessive rainfall. In response\, local governments are taking important steps to become more resilient through sustainability measures that lower their emissions as well as through investments in green infrastructure and nature-based solutions to reduce risk\, with increased support from state and federal loans and grants. As towns and cities begin to reprioritize their budgets towards sustainability and resilience\, the projects that result from these investments present invaluable opportunities to foster children-nature connections. Children with regular access to nature gain multiple forms of support for healthy development through active outdoor play and learning to redress the “nature deficit disorder” that has resulted from too much childhood time spent inside. \nCities Connecting Children to Nature initiative (CCCN) and Regional Plan Association (RPA) recently conducted a review of local and state resilience and sustainability plans and interviewed municipal officials and stakeholders throughout the New York metropolitan region to determine effective ways to bridge goals of resilience\, sustainability\, and children-nature connections. \nPlanning\, sustainability\, resilience\, and other municipal professionals in the tri-state area are invited to hear from city leaders who have been integrating children’s nature connection into their sustainability and resilience planning and a discussion of how you can make similar connections in your community. \nNOTE: This event is targeted toward municipal professionals in the tri-state area (New York\, New Jersey and Connecticut).

SUMMARY:Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning: Peru (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the global movement for greening school grounds and hear best practices from our Peru case study! \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nThere is growing momentum worldwide to make school grounds greener as a sensible and thoughtful approach to increase climate resilience and improve health and education outcomes\, especially for those most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustices. What are examples of success from around the world and what are the barriers to creating green school grounds at scale? \nWith this in mind\, the Global Lessons on Greening School Grounds & Outdoor Learning project seeks to engage with global leaders and practitioners to build networks of like-minded organizations and individuals to identify scalable strategies and deepen our understanding of how to support the worldwide movement of schoolyard greening. This project will collect information about school greening projects around the world with a strong focus on programs that practice inclusive planning and prioritize equitable access to nature while advancing environmental sustainability. With a growing number of international leaders in the children and nature field\, we believe that documenting the field\, sharing experiences\, research and best practices can help galvanize the green schoolyard movement and support our partners to make a broader case successfully. \nOn September 14th\, we’ll share from our first global case study\, Peru. Hear from Joaquin Leguia and our Global Team as they share experiences and lessons learned during their on site visit. Joaquín Leguía is founder of ANIA\, a Peru-based NGO working to promote active empathy for life and sustainable development through innovative initiatives that connect children to nature and empower them as agents of change. A key initiative of ANIA is to develop and support Tierra de Niños (TiNi)\, or Children’s Lands. TiNis are child-led\, nature-filled spaces where children learn to nurture life and biodiversity\, find restoration\, and enhance well-being for themselves and the natural world. Often found on school grounds\, TiNis can also be implemented at home and in communities\, in urban and rural areas\, and in various ecosystems. \nThis event is part of Children & Nature’s Inside-Out Leadership Series which serves to educate\, connect\, and inspire people at every stage of their career.
