Croatia
Welcome to Croatia!
This year, Croatia will be part of an incredible relay race from Scotland to Egypt to convey the message of climate change to decision makers at COP 27. The impact of climate change on our planet will be felt most by young people and future generations. The message from Croatian children and youth will be conveyed by the Eco-Schools students from Bregana to Slavonski Brod! Join us!
Ove godine Hrvatska će biti dio nevjerojatne štafetne utrke od Škotske do Egipta kojom će mladi diljem svijeta prenijeti poruku o klimatskim promjenama donositeljima odluka na COP 27. Utjecaj klimatskih promjena na naš planet najviše će osjetiti mladi i buduće generacije. Poruku hrvatske djece i mladih prenijet će polaznici Ekoškola od Bregane do Slavonskog Broda! Pridružite nam se!
Throughout the 7,767km relay route we are visiting and celebrating some of the world’s most inspirational and groundbreaking climate action projects. Discover more about these projects below.

Stage #448
Forests - the lungs of our planet
The aim of the project is to acquire knowledge about the importance of forests for humans, animals and plants, the impact of human activities on the forest.
Forests are home to many plants and animals and the lungs of the world. Visiting the woods through all seasons, children experienced the beauty of nature and explored all their senses.
They gained knowledge about the forest, how we protect it and how it affects climate. The children took part in the action "Plant a tree, don't be a stump!", visited the Diverterra Multimedia Educational Exhibition "Animals talk to children about climate change”, Lonjsko Polje Nature Park and the Regional Park Moslavačka gora.
Croatian: Cilj projekta je stjecanje znanja o važnosti šuma za život ljudi, životinja i biljaka, utjecaju ljudskih aktivnosti te međusobnoj povezanosti i ovisnosti. Šume su dom mnogih biljaka i životinja te pluća svijeta. Boraveći u šumi kroz sva godišnja doba, djeca su doživjela ljepotu prirode i istraživala osjetilima. Stekla su znanja o šumskoj zajednici, kako ju čuvamo te kako ona utječe na klimu. Djeca su sudjelovala u akciji „Zasadi stablo, ne budi panj!“ Ekološke udruge Zelena Moslavina, posjetila su Multimedijalnu-edukativnu izložbu Diverterra „Životinje djeci pričaju o klimatskim promjenama“, Park prirode Lonjsko polje te Regionalni park Moslavačka gora.

Running Out of Time is an annual climate relay that raises awareness, inspires action and celebrates great climate campaigns, projects and events across Britain.
The 2024 Relay launches 6th June at Ben Nevis before undertaking an extraordinary 2,436km journey through 50 cities and towns to Big Ben in Parliament Square, London on July 4th. Comprising 210 stages - and 80+ visits to climate & nature projects, sporting bodies & venues, schools, events and iconic locations - its set to be the most spectacular Climate Relay yet.
It features famous sporting venues; stunning natural sites, schools, universities, community projects, music, fashion and climate events. And a host of different and imaginative ways to move the baton which will be run, walked, cycled, swum, surfed, paddled, skied, para-glided and wake boarded along the way!
It should be fun, inspirational, and epic and we’d love you to join us! Please sign up now and help unite people, climate and nature!
The relay starts at Lochaber High School, Fort William, on Thursday 6th June and will finish at Big Ben on Thursday 4th July.
You must be over the age of 18 to sign-up to our relay and be able maintain an average pace of 7 minutes per kilometre for the duration of a stage.
If you are under the age of 18 and would like to run a stage, then please ask your parent/legal guardian to contact us at [email protected] and we will see if this can be accommodated.
We want the Relay to champion climate action and nature, to celebrate the fantastic work that’s already being done, to raise awareness, change minds and inspire action, and to gently but firmly keep the pressure on our governments, our employers, our places of learning and ourselves to take collective action.
We want it to be an event that links and unites, that demonstrates the support that exists for change, and that provides our partners with a platform to help achieve their goals and objectives.
We do this because we believe in a future that not only avoids the most disastrous impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss - indescribably important though that is - but that also takes us to a better place. One with sustainable, affordable energy, with clean air and clean water, with food for all, and a natural world that can be enjoyed by future generations.
We know we are only a tiny part of a global community that shares this vision but relays are what we do and we are determined to play our part.
It is the joint responsibility of all participants to keep the relay running to time. Please do everything in your power to prevent delays. We’re all relying on you!
