Description/notes

Green Canopy Enviro-care (GCE) emerged in response to the growing recognition of the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on global and local climate systems with the aim to address the impacts of climate change and advocate for policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The formation of GCE was a solution to move from the side of youth who complain to youth who act, taking advantage of the fact that young people are uniquely positioned to drive change as they are often more willing to change the status quo and demand action from governments and their communities. At the heart of our work is the thoery of balance, if humans are disrupting the ecological balance, they carry the responsibility to keep it in equilibrium, we believe that the preservation of nature’s balance can benefit from human activity, regulations, policies and measures to ascertain a sustainable future and climate neutral reality.
