Book (stand-alone)Energy Challenge Badge 2019
Also available in:
Can you imagine living without energy? It’s impossible! Our lives literally are surrounded by energy, but we don’t often stop to think about why energy is so important. We use energy to cook our food, to heat or cool our homes, for light when it’s dark, to move around and much more. Globally, people are using more and more energy. However, right now, not everyone has all the energy they need. Meanwhile, most of the energy that people use comes from burning energy sources that are damaging our planet and our health. To promote access to clean and renewable energy for all people, the period 2014–2024 has been declared the “Decade of Sustainable Energy for All”. The United Nations (UN) has been actively fighting to eradicate poverty and encourage sustainable development. In 2014, the UN created Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to stimulate action in 17 areas and transform the world. One of the goals is dedicated to sustainable energy – Goal 7 to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (p. 9). There is enough clean renewable energy in the world for everyone; however we need to plan and work together to make sure that everyone can get energy when and where they need it. -
Book (stand-alone)Water Challenge Badge 2013Developed in collaboration with United Nations agencies, civil society and other organizations, the United Nations challenge badges are intended to raise awareness, educate and motivate young people to change their behaviour and be active agents of change in their local communities. The challenge badge series can be used by teachers in school classes and by youth leaders, and especially Guide or Scout groups. This booklet includes basic background information on water, the water cy cle and how water sustains life, as well as outlining why humans need clean water and sanitation to stay healthy. The badge looks at the different factors which affect our water supply (such as over-use, pollution, natural hazards and climate change) and considers how water can be conserved and used more efficiently. Naturally, some of this material will be more appropriate for certain ages than others. Leaders should select the topics and level of detail most appropriate for their group. For example, you may wish to skip the more complicated issues with younger groups, but you will probably wish to conduct further research beyond the badge with older groups.The second part of the booklet contains the badge curriculum: a range of activities and ideas to stimulate learning and motivate children and young people to save water and engage in efforts to increase equitable access to clean water.
