CERF: Pioneering Global Transformation
At the heart of CERF is the vision of a transformative movement, one that extends beyond individual workshops to a global scale of conscious collaboration. Our mission is to not only serve the global community equitably and alleviate environmental distress but to also replicate this model of workshops worldwide. We aim to inspire and facilitate a profound re-education and reorientation across all levels of society—individuals, cultures, and nations—towards sustainability.
Our workshops are designed as dynamic blueprints for global replication, embodying a revolutionary shift towards cooperative engagement and collective wisdom. By harnessing diverse human capabilities in an environment of efficient and harmonious collaboration, CERF sets the stage for a positive and impactful transformation. This approach is crucial for empowering every community, enabling nations to undergo a transformation that is both beneficial and wholesome. Without this shift towards collaborative action, we risk perpetuating the current, unsustainable paradigms. CERF stands at the forefront of this change, spearheading a new era of global workshop models that promise to bring about a resilient, harmonized, and sustainable future.

THE WSS EmpowerED FORUM PROGRAM TO REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Mapping Environmental Education to Global Sustainability
The WSS EmpowerED forum program series is for a world facing catastrophic climate events, technological disruptions and the displacement of millions from traditional jobs. In these forums, we address the urgent needs of students, universities, marginalized communities and ecosystems to help ensure future generations can maintain a sustainable future.
Our aim is to create a forum of heightened ecological literacy where educational experts, youth and organizations meet to establish an interdisciplinary network with the aim to rapidly and completely transform education to empower and serve future generations and the planet.
Since launching the Youth Climate Summit on September 23, 2023, the WSS EmpowerED Program is providing a model for the rapid transformation of environmental education.
This Rolling Forum Series Provides a Prototyping Environment For:
- Empowerment of youth, women and underrepresented groups to collectively build a new and sustainable futureÂ
- Regulated, responsible and innovative use of AI and technology to enhance learning, empower communities and support sustainable living models and ecological crisis resolution
- Green jobs creation and learning about venues for applying the necessary skills to solve the climate crisis
- The alignment of efforts and understandings, creating an evolving system that meets the rapidly changing educational needs of the world's young people
- An adaptable workshop model that fosters ongoing transdisciplinary, multi-generational collaboration to transform the existing educational systems to drive essential global change toward a sustainable future
- Environmental education leadership development
The Urgent Need for Environmental Education in Colleges & Universities and the Challenges are Facing:
- AI proliferation threatens the collapse of universities
- Universities lack the means to scale environmental science education globally
- Currently there is no free education on a global scale, thus perpetuating societal and environmental inequalities
- A globally synchronized curriculum does not exist, preventing individuals and organizations from learning about a sustainable future
- No clear path to the empowerment of women, youth and underrepresented groups currently exists
- Educational institutions can sometimes operate in isolation from their communities and real-world issues. Without active collaboration and local engagement, practices for sustainable living may not be effectively implemented or scaled
EmpowerED programs are possible due to donors like you. If you’d like to contribute to our success, please do so here.
