On the 31 October 2017, 64 new cities from 44 countries have been designated as UNESCO Creative Cities by Director-General, Irina Bokova. 

"They join a Network at the frontline of UNESCO’s efforts to foster innovation and creativity as key drivers for a more sustainable and inclusive urban development. This network attracts growing interest from local authorities."

Since 2004, the UNESCO Creative Cities Network highlights its members’ creativity within seven fields:  Crafts and Folk Art, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts and Music. It now counts a total of 180 cities in 72 countries.

Today the 4 November 2016 is special, a seed of hope in humanity's future ! 🌱🌍 I'm a green voluntary since the beginning of ClimateAction.

Today history has been made. The Paris Agreement to address climate change has entered into force!

"We are the first generation to really feel the effects of climate change – and the last that can prevent its worst consequences.

Today shows us what is possible when we join forces for our common future,"

Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General

Activity:

The Marrakech climate change conference kicks off on Monday. Here's one way your students can involved.

Some days before the official opening of COP22, why don't they show UN why it is time to act?

To do so, invite students to post a selfie with what they want to preserve on the planet, use the hashtag #ActionTime and tag/identify COP22 in the picture. 

Their selfie will be exhibited in the digital media zone during the Conference! They have a video invitation here

That's a wonderful new! After The COP21 in Paris from 30 November to 11 December 2015, working on the global agreement addressing climate change, this COP22 Paris Agreement is the best introduction I can have to the compilation of the most popular posts of October.
