Colleagues, this may be of interest, ashish -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [GTA] Fwd: MOCK COP - My Climate Reality - Casting Call - Deadline June 4th Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 13:54:25 +0530 From: William Stanley <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: Ashish Kothari <[email protected]> CC: Dear Ashis, Trust you are all doing well and staying safe, please take care. Please see below an email from our colleague and friends which is self explanatory. Please see whether some one can use this opportunity, retards, Stanley Dear Colleagues, over the next 4 years, the DAAD will fund the ABCD-Centre for Global Water and Climate Adaptation <https://www.daad.de/en/the-daad/communication-publications/press/press_releases/globale-zentren-fuer-klima-und-gesundheit/>, in which RWTH and IIT Madras are involved. The center fosters a young generation of globally oriented environmental specialists. Equipped with international research, management and communication skills, even entry-level professionals will have a significant impact on the increasingly important field of climate adaptation. The Centre facilitates careers in the fields of water security and climate adaptation. A master's degree program on "Water Security and Global Change" and a joint doctoral program are being established in Aachen, Bangkok, Chennai and Dresden (ABCD), in addition to dialogue formats for young scholars. Graduates of Theology will thus have interesting options for further academic qualification, for example with the goal of a doctorate in the field of Climate Ethics and Development. The Centre does not provide full stipends, but offers a Start-up phase for project design and scholarship application in Germany. The Aachen Institute for Theology is part of the Cluster 3 "Transfer Strategies for Climate Adaptation". It regularly offers the M.A.-Programm Theology and Global Development (Theologie und Globale Entwicklung) <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Studium/Vor-dem-Studium/Studiengaenge/Liste-Aktuelle-Studiengaenge/Studiengangbeschreibung/~euzn/Theologie-und-Globale-Entwicklung-M-A/> in German language and conducts research in Theology and Technology.

We’re currently working with the Mock COP team to produce a series of short films called My Climate Reality, highlighting the voices of young people at the frontline of the climate crisis. The films will be released around COP26 in November, and we hope they will have a powerful impact on UN Leaders and other influential stakeholders. We are now casting for the people and stories to feature in our films, and the Mock COP team recommended I contact your organisation. We’d love your help spreading the word as far and wide as possible! Specifically, we are looking for young people (Under 30) who are living on the frontline of the climate crisis, and whose daily reality is impacted by climate change. This could be somewhere with dramatic visual changes (sea level rises, fires, floods) or more surprising and subtle changes. If you agree that this project might be relevant to your network we’d be very grateful if you could share our casting call out via one or all of the below: 1. Share our casting flyer (attached, and also copied below) - eg added to a newsletter or sent round a mailing list 2.

Thank you very much, Matilda --------- MY CLIMATE REALITY VR Project We want to share your story with UN Leaders to highlight urgent action needed on climate change.
