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!

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.

Got questions?
What do you get if you mash-up an Attenborough nature documentary and the Olympics?... Running Out of Time!
We're bringing together multiple sports, incredible climate action projects, stunning natural landscapes, mixing them all together and throwing YOU into the heart of it!
Running Out of Time is a 2,661km relay from Ben Nevis to Big Ben. There are a total of 366 stages, with stages ranging from 2-30km long. The relay runs from sunrise to sunset for 32 days and travels to 30 counties.
Our goal is for the relay baton to be passed from person-to-person and arrive in London. Most stages will be run and a small number will be cycled. We will also be kayaking, canoeing, paragliding, skiing, mountain biking, walking, wheeling and more!
The relay starts at Ben Nevis on Saturday 10th June and will finish at Big Ben on Tuesday 11th July.
You must be over the age of 18 to sign-up to our relay and be able maintain an average pace of 6 minutes 15 seconds per kilometre / 10 minutes per mile 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 also have a Schools Action Day taking place on June 21st, which is open to schools around the UK.
What do we do when we're running out of time? We run faster!
We are calling on everyone – from national government to local government; from individuals to communities; from schools to businesses – to work together to protect our world now and for future generations.
We aim to celebrate amazing climate action, and nature protection projects, run by community groups, charities, businesses and schools, from around the UK. Hopefully by championing all the great work already being done, we can play a part in securing more support and funding for these projects and others.
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!
