.Climate Change Awareness and Action FacilitatorClimate change poses a significant and urgent threat to humanity.
Since 2006, Peace Corps Mexico has worked in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) to strengthen the resilience of individuals and rural communities in Mexico in the face of climate change.
Peace Corps Mexico supports community-based efforts to instill a deep appreciation for the environment and local ecosystems while empowering them to take action to enhance local resilience.The program is guided by two core objectives.
The first seeks that community members have greater knowledge and capacity to address the adverse local impacts of climate change on both people and the natural environment, while the second strives to facilitate actions that reduce these adverse impacts and promote increased resilience within the community.To achieve the first objective, Volunteers engage in a range of activities.
They co-facilitate educational activities through classes, workshops, environmental fairs, or talks that enhance individuals' understanding of local climate change impacts and seek to foster an appreciation for nature.
Additionally, Volunteers co-train sessions to equip individuals with techniques to increase their resilience to climate change such as vegetable gardening for food production or the construction of cisterns to harvest and store rainwater.To accomplish the second objective, Volunteers support the efforts of SEMARNAT and the community to implement sustainable soil and water conservation practices, as well as basic practices for responsible waste management such as composting and recycling.
Furthermore,
Volunteers support the implementation of locally appropriate biodiversity conservation practices to preserve the unique ecosystems that surround rural communities.The focus of any Volunteer's work will depend on local priorities as defined by SEMARNAT and the community, and as revealed through the "discovery" phase of a Volunteer's service.
Peace Corps Mexico Trainees visit their assigned communities during the fourth week of Pre-Service Training, which provides invaluable insight into the reality of their community and informs the remainder of their training.Volunteers live in rural communities or small cities and work under the supervision of SEMARNAT.
They collaborate with local stakeholders—including community leaders, schools,
and local organizations—to carry out program activities effectively and to ensure a lasting impact.As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will be trained to use a participatory approach and tools to identify locally determined priorities and conditions, including those related to the impacts of climate change
