Jetzt gemeinsam Klimaschutz umsetzen
Das Zentrum für Mission und Ökumene der Nordkirche und die East of Lake Viktoria-Diözese (ELVD) in Tansania haben eine neue Art von Partnerschaft auf der Basis des Themas Klimagerechtigkeit initiiert.
Gemeinsam werden die teilnehmenden Institutionen aus Tansania und der Nordkirche Wissen und Fähigkeiten zu Klimaschutz und zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel aufbauen. Ziel ist es, eigene Klimaaktionspläne auf Gemeindeebene in Tansania und Deutschland zu entwickeln und umzusetzen.
Klimapartnerschaften: Voneinander lernen und handeln
Die Zusammenarbeit ist auf drei Jahre angelegt und wird mit vielen Maßnahmen begleitet: Es gibt regelmäßige Seminare, fachliche Expertise und Unterstützung bei der Umsetzung von konkreten Projekten, digitalen Austausch unter den Partner:innen und als Höhepunkt eine Begegnungsreise zu Best Practice Projekten vor Ort.
Aktuelle Informationen rund um die tansanisch-deutschen Klimapartnerschaften sind auf dieser Website zu finden.
Implement climate protection together
The „Zentrum für Mission und Ökumene“ of the Ev.-Luth. Church in Northern Germany (Nordkirche) and the East of Lake Victoria Diocese (ELCD) in Tanzania initiated a new type of partnership based on the theme of climate justice.
Together, the participating institutions from Tanzania and Germany will build knowledge and skills on climate protection and adaptation to climate change. The aim is to develop and implement their own climate action plans at parish level.
Church Action Climate partnerships: learning from each other and acting
The collaboration is scheduled to last three years and is accompanied by many measures: There are regular seminars, technical expertise and support in the implementation of specific projects, digital exchange between the partners and, as a highlight, a trip to meet best practice projects on site.
Information about the participating partner parishes in Tanzania and in Nordkirche as well as photos and reports from this special project can be found on this website.
Damit die Berichterstattung in der ELCD und in der Nordkirche von allen verfolgt werden kann, werden alle Texte künftig in der gemeinsamen Projektsprache Englisch veröffentlicht.
All texts will be published in the common project language, English. So the information is accessible für everyone, whether in Germany or in Tanzania.
