Summer climate camp ‘Climate Can’t Wait’: Youth of Kazakhstan unite for a sustainable future

From July 10 to 14, the picturesque area of Zerenda hosted the Summer Climate Camp 'Climate Can't Wait'—an educational initiative that brought together over 40 schoolchildren and 20 educators from across Kazakhstan. The camp was organized with the support of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Department for Emergency Situations of the Akmola Region. It served as a platform for exchanging knowledge, ideas, and inspiration in the field of climate education. The goal of the camp was to foster awareness among schoolchildren about climate change, develop leadership qualities, and project thinking through interactive learning, teamwork, and research activities. Over four days, participants explored topics such as biodiversity, climate vulnerability, energy efficiency, and water conservation.
