Jersey is also exploring what role it's marine environment can play in combatting climate change. A study of the "blue carbon" resources in the sea around Jersey found that Jersey's seabed permanently removes (sequesters) over 10,000 tonnes of carbon annually.

The Climate Emergency Fund was established in the Government Plan 2020 to 2023. It provides an initial route of income and source of expenditure for projects tackling the climate emergency.

Climate Emergency Toolkit for Youth Workers | Keep Scotland Beautiful

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Although the toolkit is targeted at youth workers who have completed the Climate Emergency Training for Youth Workers course, it should prove useful to many youth work settings.

The toolkit includes activities to help young people learn about, and discuss the impact of our choices on climate change, environment and people. The activities also introduce opportunities to find out more and take positive action to tackle climate change.

Learning takes place through facilitated discussion, interactive exercises, games and films, with sessions having in-person and online delivery options. The activities meet a variety of Youth Work Outcomes and UN Sustainable Development Goals and are flagged with suggested age ranges, resources and timings.

Activities are organised into five sections, with the first section covering climate change generally, and four further sections focussed around the themes of food, travel, energy and waste. Further resources may be added, but if there is a resource or activity you would find useful in your youth work area, please do  get in touch.

The toolkit has been designed by Keep Scotland Beautiful and YouthLink Scotland and is part of the COP26 Youth Climate Programme funded by the Scottish Government.

Why do we need water?

The human body is around 60 per cent water, and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. As well as needing clean water to drink, we need it for cooking, washing and brushing our teeth. Hygienic toilets require water - a lot of water. Each time we flush, we can use up to six litres! We use water indirectly too. Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. A lot of water is used to produce the clothes we wear. Did you know that it takes about 2,700 litres of water to make one T-shirt?

Does everyone have enough water?

We all need water to stay alive, but more than two billion people around the world live without safe water in their homes. That's around a quarter of the world's population! Many of them live in rural communities or in places where there is war and conflict. In addition to this, climate change is making the little water they have access to more and more scarce.

What are the consequences?

If we drink dirty water or we can't wash our hands when we go to the toilet, we can catch diseases from bacteria and become ill. More than two thousand children worldwide die every day from diarrhoea caused by dirty water. In some countries, people - mainly women and children - walk many kilometres every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn't even clean! If children spend most of their day walking to get water, they can't go to school, so they don't learn how to read or write and don't get an education.

What happens on World Water Day?

In 1992, the United Nations decided to make a special day for water, and World Water Day has been celebrated on 22 March every year since 1993. On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and to try to find solutions to provide everyone around the world with clean water.

What can we do?

A lot of charities organise fundraising events for World Water Day. People do things like sponsored walks, cycles and swims. Some groups organise events like 'Walk for water', where people walk four, eight or 12 kilometres each day in March, to see how it feels when you have to walk a long way to get your drinking water. Others do a 'Water challenge' and drink only water for a whole month. People give them money to do these things, and all this money helps buy taps and toilets and provide clean water to as many people as possible around the world. So, this World Water Day, what will you do?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Everyone needs water, and every drop is precious. On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the essential role of water in our lives, the difficulties many people have getting clean water, and solutions to these problems.

Environmental Awareness Calendar - UK & World | Green Eco Friend

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pretty much every day of the year is 'International Day of the Something' and there are lots of monthly environmental awareness campaigns so I thought I'd put together an environmental awareness calendar so it was easier (for me) to keep track of things like 30 Days Wild and Plastic Free July. I hate forgetting about a campaign I want to be part of!

This calendar is UK based but includes 'International' environmental awareness days, weeks and months as well.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of awareness days. I've included environmental and wildlife days, but have excluded human rights days. Not because I don't believe they're important but to keep this list as focussed on biodiversity and the natural planet as much as possible. (I'm a big lover of cats and haven't even included National Hug Your Cat Day!)

All of the below Environmental Awareness Days are listed at the time of year they would normally be held, some events have not had the specific dates for 2021 announced and other events may be postponed due to Coronavirus in 2021. Environmental Awareness Days / Weeks from August onwards will be updated ASAP.

Environmental Awareness Calendar 2021

JANUARY

For the whole month of January try to eat only vegan food. Each year thousands sign up to take part and many permanently go vegan afterwards. Everybody is being advised to eat less meat and diary for your health and to reduce your carbon footprint, so veganuary is a great way to explore new meal ideas. Going vegan also helps to protect animals, and who doesn't want to do that?

6th January. The RSPB organises the big schools birdwatch to help educators 'turn their pupils into conservationists'. I'm assuming this will happen on 6th January, unfortunately their website hasn't included a date this year!

29th - 31st January. Linked with the Big Schools Birdwatch, the Big Garden Birdwatch is asking you to spend an hour noting down every bird that you see in your garden, in a local park or from your balcony. All you need to do then is contact the RSPB and let them know what you saw.

FEBRUARY

from 22nd February to 7th March. There are many ways you can get involved in Fair Trade Fortnight, from joining an online festival to spreading the word on social media. "For two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March, thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes, people who are often exploited and underpaid."

MARCH

Organised by the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, The Great British Spring Clean is going ahead in 2021 but no date has yet been specified. However you can still pledge to do a clean-up. Join a group to go litter picking or just go and clean up your local area yourself.

APRIL

22nd April. The Earth Day Network works around the world to work towards changing things for the better when it comes to: Climate Action, Science and Education, People and Communities, Conservation and Restoration and Plastic and Pollution.

MAY

For the whole month of May don't mow your lawn! "Changing your mowing routine and allowing plants to flower can create enough nectar for ten times more bees and other pollinators. You're also more likely to spot a greater variety of flowers popping up in your garden."

from 2nd May. Seriously, get into composting! "International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW)(...) has continued to grow as more people, businesses, municipalities, schools and organizations are recognizing the importance of composting and the long-term benefits from organics recycling. The goal of the program is to raise the awareness of the public regarding the benefits of using compost. The program includes a poster contest in the fall and activities and events held during the week in May."

from 17th May. Walk to School Week is primarily to promote healthy habits in primary school aged children. But one of the major benefits of walking to school is the reduction in air and noise pollution from all those cars taking their children to school. Walk to School Week "is a fun and engaging week-long activity, raising awareness and celebrating walking for all."

20th May. I hope that by now everyone is aware of how important bees are and how we need to do much more to protect them. "In addition to being one of the major pollinators, thus ensuring food and food security, sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, bees significantly contribute to the mitigation of climate change and environmental conservation. In the long-term, the protection of bees and the beekeeping sector can help reduce poverty and hunger, as well as preserve a healthy environment and biodiversity. Scientific studies have proven that bees have become increasingly endangered. It is only through joint efforts that we can ensure the protection of bees and their habitats."

from 22nd May. Every flower counts is linked with PlantLifes #NoMowMay campaign. "When it comes to providing vital nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and other insects, every flower counts. And your lawn can help provide that feast. The more wild flowers you have in your lawn the more nectar will be produced. If you've taken part in #NoMowMay, #LetItBloomJune or not mown at all this year, you're likely to have many more wild flowers and lots more nectar."

23rd May. "The day was created as an annual observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world."

from 29th May - 6th June. Get your children or grandchildren interested in the garden and invested in nature. "Children love growing plants, love being in the garden but they're often impatient, wanting to see instant results. National Children's Gardening Week aims to capture children's enthusiasm at a time when results are immediate. National Children's Gardening Week takes place annually in the 'warm' week at the end of May."

from 30th May. We need more people to cycle rather than use their cars so I think this is a great event to include on this environmental awareness calendar. "Bike Week, delivered by Cycling UK, is an annual celebration to showcase cycling. Thousands of people all over the UK enjoy the simple pleasure of riding a bike."

JUNE

The whole month of June is '30 Days Wild'. 30 Days Wild was created by The Wildlife Trusts to help everyone be more connected with nature by doing something wild every day. When you sign up you're sent a digital pack with ideas. Their facebook group is fantastic, I highly recommend joining.

Let It Bloom June

Following on from No Mow May, is Let It Bloom June. Allow the flowers to grow in your garden and leave them be.

5th June. "The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, many of the medicines that save our lives and the climate that make our planet inhabitable, all come from nature. We are more reliant on nature's interconnected web and delicate balance than we can ever imagine."

8th June. "World Oceans Day is growing the global movement to call on world leaders to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030. This critical need is called 30×30. By safeguarding at least 30% of our ocean through a network of highly protected areas we can help ensure a healthy home for all!"

15th June. "Working animals - such as horses, donkeys, camels and elephants - are the key workers of the developing world (...) Yet, despite their vital role, this invisible workforce is often completely overlooked. Countless animals lead short, hard lives, working in extreme conditions, with little rest, poor nutrition and no access to veterinary treatment."

17th June. "The World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is observed every year to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification. The day is a unique moment to remind everyone that land degradation neutrality is achievable through problem-solving, strong community involvement and co-operation at all levels."

17th June. "We are calling all brands, consumers and retailers to JOIN US and reconsider their use of plastic, whether it be virgin, recycled or reclaimed from the sea because the problem is that it ends up back in the sea or landfill which makes the type of plastic irrelevant. There is no such thing as "good plastic".

17th June. "The World Health Organisation and the UK Government recognise that air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today. It causes heart and lung diseases, is linked to low birth weight and children's lung development and may even contribute to mental health issues. Every year, air pollution causes up to 36,000 deaths in the UK. Clean Air Day is the UK's largest air pollution campaign, engaging thousands of people at hundreds of events, and reaching millions more through the media. Clean Air Day normally takes place on the third Thursday in June."

18th June. "Sustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: agricultural development; food security; nutrition; sustainable food production; and conservation of biodiversity"

19th June. Originally a UK only event, 2020 saw National Refill Day go global. "National Refill Day is a public awareness campaign that aims to create a new social norm amongst the public for refilling on the go - to save money, keep us hydrated and prevent millions of single-use plastic bottles at source!"

JULY

Try to reduce how much plastic you buy during the month of July. Make a concerted effort to buy loose fruit and vegetables and the plastic free versions of things you would normally buy. "Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution - so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities."

3rd July. "Plastic Bag Free Day is a global initiative that aims to eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags in the world. This work centred around Plastic Bag Free Day, on the 3rd of July each year. Now, the campaign is part of the broader Break Free From Plastic movement, which brings together an international movement of plastic pollution fighters to build a future free from plastic waste."

10th July. "The recent press surrounding the 'Bee Crisis' has been hard to ignore. Without the tireless work of our little buzzing friends, over a third of everything we eat would disappear from our tables."

from 23rd July. In association with Keep Britain Tidy is Love Parks Week. "Parks matter to us all. That's why we work every day to protect and improve them. We celebrate the very best green spaces through our international Green Flag Award and People's Choice vote. We help to improve them even more through our innovations, #LitterHeroes and campaigns. But because parks are so important, we take a week each year to really showcase them. For this year's Love Parks Week we encouraged everyone to get out and enjoy their favourite park. By using and celebrating your local park, you are helping us to protect them for future generations."

from 24th July. "National Marine Week is The Wildlife Trusts' nationwide celebration of all things marine. Despite the name, it lasts 15 fun-filled days to allow for the variation in tide times around the country. During this time, Wildlife Trusts all around the UK put on a jam-packed programme of events and activities... including inland!"

28th July. "World Nature Conservation Day is observed annually on 28 July to remind humankind about the importance of nature and the need to protect it. The day is marked globally to spread awareness about the best practices to protect the natural resources."

29th July. "Tigers are on the brink of extinction and International World Tiger Day aims to bring attention to this fact and try to halt their decline. Many factors have caused their numbers to fall, including habitat loss, climate change, hunting and poaching and Tiger Day aims to protect and expand their habitats and raise awareness of the need for conservation. Many international organizations are involved in the day, including the WWF, the IFAW and the Smithsonian Institute."

AUGUST

from 10th August. The "theme for 2020 is Growing Food for Health and Well-being, a reflection of the many benefits of growing, cooking and eating your own fruit and vegetables."

SEPTEMBER

"Organic September is a month-long campaign designed to encourage more people to try organic as a way to promote and educate people about organic food & farming practices."

20th September. Great British Beach Clean Events have been cancelled due to coronavirus in 2020. "Our iconic annual Great British Beach Clean has been leading the way in tackling ocean pollution for 26 years, helping make some of the most significant impacts on beach litter ever - the plastic bag charge, banning microplastics in personal care products, better wet wipe labelling, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. So far we've picked up 319 tonnes of litter at our Great British Beach Cleans."

22nd September. World Car Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Some cities and countries have organised events.

from 23rd September. "Our annual Seed Gathering Season inspires everyone to join us to gather seeds, fruits and nuts which can be nurture to grow the trees of the future. Now in its 21st year, The Tree Council welcomes all our volunteer Tree Wardens, member organisations, local communities and families to get involved during the month-long celebrations. The campaign runs from September 23, which is the autumn equinox and considered to be the first day of autumn. It finishes on October 23."

from 23rd September. "Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand. The aim of the week is to encourage the public to recycle more of the right things, more often from all around the home."

25th September 2020. "The Forest Stewardship Council will be hosting FSC Friday‚ an annual event designed to raise awareness about responsible forest management- the best way to keep using forest products and keep our forests too. FSC are aiming to increase awareness of FSC so that more people choose FSC certified products more of the time."

OCTOBER

"Through Unblocktober, you can make small changes to your habits and the way you dispose of certain everyday items in order to make big changes to the environment - at a time when it needs our help more than ever."

Encourage people to get out of cars and reduce air pollution by walking to school during the month of October. "Children who walk to school are more engaged with their streets and aware of the impact of cars than those who don't, suggests new research released for the launch of International Walk to School Month."

1st October. World Vegetarian Day is a good time to explore meat free meals. For some ditching dairy is a step too far and so veganism doesn't appeal. I do recommend looking into the dairy and egg industries though.

4th October. The mission of World Animal Day is "To raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. Building the celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. It's celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology. Through increased awareness and education we can create a world where animals are always recognised as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare."

2. We STOP using disposable cups completely." Check out the 4th October. Every single day in the UK we use 7 million disposable cups, many of which are not disposed of responsibly. The aim of No Disposable Cup Day is "1. We STOP using disposable cups for one day on 4 October, and best reusable coffee cups.

8th October. "Air pollution harms the health of millions. But there are lots of simple things that we can do to improve air quality and look after our own and other people's health. Clean Air Day is a chance to find out more about pollution, share information with friends and colleagues, and help make the air cleaner and healthier for everyone."

20th October. "Every year, reptile fanatics have a day that they can celebrate and share their passion; a chance to educate others who may not know about these amazing creatures called reptiles, and the habitat loss and threat of extinction that faces so many reptile species."

NOVEMBER

"World Vegan Month is celebrated around the world as a time to recognise how far the vegan movement has come, to highlight how accessible and beneficial a vegan lifestyle is and to encourage the vegan-curious to adopt veganism by sharing advice, recipes and ideas."

DECEMBER

5th December. "Every 5 seconds, the equivalent of one soccer field of soil is eroded. This alarming fact reaffirms the need to raise awareness through World Soil Day of this growing problem, as the Earth's population continues to expand... It can take up to 1,000 years to produce just 2-3cm of soil... Soil erosion can lead up to a 50% loss in crop yields."

International Animal Rights Day

10th December. "Every year International Animal Rights Day is celebrated on December 10. This observance coincides with the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declared in 1948, and this has been made deliberately."

Are there any events or days that I need to add to this environmental awareness calendar? Please let me know below.

Better Planet Schools

Better Planet Schools is an online environmental education programme, created by the Young People's Trust for the Environment to engage children and teachers in the UK's primary schools. The programme aims to engage students and teachers to learn about and take action on key issues like saving energy to tackle climate change; reducing use of plastics and other waste and increasing recycling; fast fashion; air pollution; and creating new habitats for wildlife to thrive. Schools choose three learning 'modules' per year, with each module lasting a school term. With new modules being created each year, children and schools can be engaged year after year in learning more about key environmental issues and how they can make a difference with their actions.

Youth are central in achieving a more sustainable and healthier planet. Young people have a special role in instigating change and action on the pressing global challenges. Equally, they are pivotal to finding innovative solutions that speak to local and global realities. As such, UNEP has given special attention to the work of young people around the globe for the environment and we are committed to providing safe and open platforms to support interaction with decision-makers.

Platforms and initiatives across UNEP have given relevant roles to young people, developing meaningful engagement in the environmental space. UNEP recognizes the importance of working with and for young people. Our programmes make a stronger coordination effort for meaningful youth participation.

Jersey's waters, with its seagrass, kelp forests and maerl beds, showcase some of the best shallow marine habitats in the British Isles.

Jersey has an extraordinary marine estate. The northwest coast has the greatest diversity of seaweed in the British Isles. On the southwest, some of the richest and most diverse clam beds in Northern Europe can be found and the rocky intertidal and outlying shallow reefs offer habitats found nowhere else in the region.

However, much of Jersey's waters remain unprotected, with only six percent currently protected and the associated impact on marine life unknown. Blue Marine has been supporting research alongside partners on-island and UK academic institutions to assess the benefits of Jersey's existing protected areas. We are using the evidence from these studies to build an evidence base for a well-managed Marine Protected Area in the form of a Marine Park, closed to bottom-towed fishing gear, to cover over 30 per cent of Jersey's territorial waters.

To ensure fishing communities can continue to operate, thrive and co-exist alongside marine conservation, Blue Marine is applying its model of fishery co-management developed in Lyme Bay. This model proves that by using low-impact methods, fishermen's livelihoods can improve while marine biodiversity thrives. In Jersey, we are supporting research with fishermen to inform local fisheries management plans through the completion of studies (such as potting studies, the methods of which were developed in Lyme Bay) to determine the next steps in safeguarding the future of these commercially important species. Such work looks to empower local fishermen to lead the management of their fisheries in line with conservation goals.

Blue Marine's project in Jersey hopes to prove that marine protection will support both the recovery of marine life and the local fishing community. Jersey's extensive seagrass beds, kelp forests and maerl beds all play a role in absorbing blue carbon and their protection could help Jersey meet its net zero carbon goals in-line with it's carbon neutral strategy.
Snorkel Portelet
A component of the project connecting people to the sea, called Snorkel Portelet, launched in 2022, providing residents and tourists the opportunity to explore Jersey's valuable marine environment. Created by Blue Marine, in partnership with the Societe Jersiaise, the snorkel trail is the first of a new network planned for the Island. Find out more here.

Marine Park Vision
Jersey has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to show global leadership by creating a Marine Park in its waters that delivers for people and nature, and reveal the Island as one of the world's most accessible marine eco-tourism destinations. Read more in our Jersey briefing.
