Supporting a sustainable and equitable future for all.
LDDI’s Climate Justice and Sustainability Initiative aims to enhance awareness of and engagement with principles of sustainability in education to address multi-dimensional environmental challenges. Our aim is to develop skills and capacities to create and share resources and professional development opportunities to inspire impactful change in learning and course design.
A monthly campaign to ignite climate justice action.
Our monthly campaign is designed to deepen our understanding of climate justice and engage in meaningful and collective action to lessen the causes and impacts of climate change.
April 2024: From Print to Pixels: Working, Collaborating and Sharing Sustainably
How? Join LDDI’s workshop, From Print to Pixels to identify wasteful paper-based practices and learn how to adopt digital solutions to reduce your environmental impact and improve efficiency.
Why? Educational institutions are amongst the highest consumers of paper. The more paper used, the more resources, like energy, trees, and water will be wasted. Reducing waste, like paper, is an effective way to lessen our carbon footprint.
