The climate change activist Greta Thunberg is an “influencer” of the teenage generation. What aspects of her presentation “Nature Now” make her a role model of learning more about nature-based solutions (NbS)? By using their critical thinking, students are going to discover more about the destruction of our environment and use self-studying methods to find a way to help nature recover from this. Learning about NbS can help them become responsible citizens who start out with something very small, and then extend their ideas to national level during their campaign – just like Greta. The main purpose of the campaign is to be active and influence more people to take action on climate change. The campaign aims to teach students not only about ecology but also encourage them to protest in non-violent ways and see multiple aspects of their impact. With ecology posters created, they will make people aware that NbS can be used to tackle climate change and introduce them to innovative examples of NbS that make the Earth a better place for everyone. Lastly, the added value of this learning scenario (LS) for the students is interpersonal communication and enhanced social skills.
