  We only have one planet. Air, land, and water are shared global resources, and a healthy environment is crucial for communities to thrive. But climate change, one of the defining issues of our time, has observable effects including rising sea levels and longer, more intense heat waves. AKFC's programs promote environmental sustainability, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and encourage creative solutions to the challenges facing our planet. In Canada, we want to help educators, parents, and students become active global citizens and explore issues around international development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
