About Stop Climate Change (SCC)
IVS (International Voluntary Service) has been creating unique and valuable impact to prevent climate change. It is not only by the work to plant and grow trees and other carbon reducing actions, also, by spreading collective and simple low carbon lifestyles, networking people and organizations, raising awareness among local people and world youth and promoting further actions.
The Global Voluntary Service to Stop Climate Change (SCC) is one of these unique movement executed by IVS volunteers globally since 2015 with the networks Alliance, CCIVS and NVDA started a common campaign “IVS against climate change”.
GREAT took part on this SCC program since 2016, when we did youth volunteer exchange between Indonesian and Cambodian in the SCC platform. Now, in 2017, we will do it again as it was considered a success though there are still rooms of evaluation which we are looking forward to improving it in the next one. This program will be held by four IVS organizations of NVDA members in four different countries: GREAT Indonesia, CYA Cambodia, RUCHI India and NICE Japan.
Background of SCC Program
Climate change has been so far recognized as one of the most crucial global problems and many people and organizations have been working hard to overcome the situation. However, the global carbon emission keeps increasing (21 billion tons in 1990 to 29 billion in 2009 while our planet can absorb only 10 billion in its nature). Moreover, the damage is getting more and more serious on landscape, forests and biodiversity, food production and water supply, human security and so on. Though the recent COP21 has agreed on global goals, we need much further efforts and collaboration among countries, stakeholders, organizations and people to prevent increase of global temperature within 1.5-2 degrees. Innovative, epoch‐making actions and cooperation need to be created and developed in order to have breakthrough to protect our beautiful planet for the future generations, one of which can be international voluntary service.
