In the smile of a child, of a girl, infinite possibilities are hidden; in the longing of her bright eyes await futures that we cannot even imagine today, and even less so in these times of uncertainty. Childhood is, for those of us who were lucky enough to live it happily, a refuge to which we always return and which we remember with affection and, why not, with a touch of nostalgia. But that happy childhood is not guaranteed, neither in the world nor, of course, in Spain. That is where the work of UNICEF comes in, possibly one of the best known agencies of the United Nations, which is concerned with defending the rights of children around the world.

It could be said that we live in the information age, at a time when anyone, from their cell phone, can consult any data or learn about any subject. One might think that at such a time, everyone would be perfectly informed about one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, Climate Change; however, the reality is different, precisely because today it is as easy to spread information as it is to spread misinformation, myths or lies. And in a subject as sensitive as Climate Change, there are many myths to combat.

At EdTech Generation, as you know, we address issues that are of general interest, from mental health to education, including, as we are doing today, sustainability. And the fact is that… there are very few challenges we face as a society, more important than Climate Change. Some are already calling it a Climate Emergency. No wonder, because the effects of global climate change are becoming more and more intense in every corner of the world, from increasingly prolonged droughts to more intense climatic disasters such as hurricanes or fires.
