Running Out of Time Relay Baton Received at UNFCCC Headquarters in Bonn, Germany! 14 October, Bonn: The Running Out of Time relay baton reaches Germany and is received at UNFCCC Headquarters in Bonn. Running Out of Time is a record-breaking 7,767km journey through 18 countries to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27 in order to deliver a climate message from young people to world leaders. The 38 day mass-participation relay mission from Glasgow to Sharm-El-Sheikh is the longest non-stop relay ever attempted. The route includes Scotland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt - arriving to Sharm el-Sheikh on November 5th 2022 in time for COP27 which will take place from 6th-18th November 2022. Runners and cyclists carry the baton in 5-10km stages of the route which crosses seas, mountain ranges, glaciers, and deserts, villages, towns and capital cities. It will visit hundreds of schools, at-risk locations and climate change projects to inspire and champion local climate action. At the same time, runners will be fundraising for the Foundation for Environmental Education and Carbon Copy. People around the world who are unable to run a stage on the physical route won’t miss out. They’re invited to pass the baton during a Global Virtual Relay on November 5th 2022. Register to take part: www.running-out-of-time.com The relay's principal partners are Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and Carbon Copy. Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) President Lesley Jones, Senior Director for Education, Pramod Kumar Sharma and International Coordinator for Education, Kristina Madsen personally delivered the Running Out of Time relay baton to Ina Parvanova, Director of Communications and Engagement at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Headquarters in Bonn, Germany. After four exciting days during which the relay baton travelled from France to Belgium and through the Netherlands, it crossed into Germany on Thursday night (October 13th) around 8 pm. From there it was carried by runners through the night to reach the UNFCCC headquarters for a short stop before continuing on its journey to COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh. Carried by Kristina Madsen, International Coordinator for Education at FEE, the relay baton arrived at UNFCCC headquarters in Bonn at around 11:30 on Friday morning. The arrival of the baton was celebrated by representatives of UNFCCC, FEE and its German member organisation the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Umwelterziehung, Germanwatch, and several runners. Central to the relay is the message in the baton that will be delivered to world leaders at COP27, a call for universal quality climate education, recognizing that education is key to a sustainable future. The relay also serves to highlight people-led climate education initiatives and the work done by local climate education organisations, such as FEE’s member, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Umwelterziehung. Jens Hepper, teacher and Board Member of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Umwelterziehung succinctly captured the challenges our world faces, saying, “The problems of our time are that we consume too much heat, live in badly insulated houses, burning too much fuel. We throw broken stuff away instead of repairing it. We do not realize that we are living in a global community, depending on each other – every nation, every country.” FEE has been delivering climate education and Education for Sustainable Development for over 25 years through its three educational programmes, Eco-Schools, Young Reporters for the Environment and Learning about Forests. With member organisations in 81 countries around the world, FEE’s programmes have supported the efforts of thousands of climate education practitioners around the world and the message in the baton is of utmost importance for this work to expand. Lesley Jones, President of the Foundation for Environmental Education said, “The message is all about the reason why education for climate action is critical for young people, but also for all of us. To understand the issues, to understand what we can do to take climate action and turn the tide on climate change.” Collaboration between policymakers, international organisations, local civil society organisations and the practitioners on the ground serves to better support the call for universal, quality climate education, lending significance to the message in the baton that will be delivered to world leaders at COP25. “This relay showcases the power of sport and civic action to drive greater awareness and engagement in villages, towns, capital cities and tourist locations along the relay route, no doubt inspiring local climate action. This is a critical decade for climate action. Governments must implement their pledges and commitments and raise ambition to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees and provide effective response to the global challenge. But to achieve the transformational change that is needed, everyone must be on board. Governments, businesses, investors, non-governmental organisations, and all members of society. We need everyone to know about the drivers and impacts of climate change and how to contribute to achieving a climate resilient and just world,” said Ina Parvanova, Director of Communications and Engagement at UNFCCC. Ms. Parvanova also shared her thoughts on the message in the relay baton, saying, “On climate education, the message is clear. Climate change needs to be integrated across the full scope of the education curriculum. Climate change is an issue that affects all aspects of our economies and societies, so our education systems need to be preparing children, young people and lifelong learners by delivering quality climate education. And high-quality climate education informed by the best available science as well as, where available, traditional and Indigenous knowledge, is not an option, but an imperative to strengthen human capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change.” From Bonn, the relay baton will continue being carried by runners and cyclists through Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. In Greece, the baton will be received by Nikos Petrou, Vice President of FEE and President of FEE’s national member, HSPN. FEE CEO Daniel Shaffer will escort it during its sail to Cyprus and Israel.

30th September 2022, Glasgow: Today, the first of several thousand runners set off from Glasgow, Scotland (COP26 host city) in Running Out of Time, a record-breaking relay to pass a baton 7,767km through 18 countries containing a climate message from young people to world leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt (COP27 host city). Taking 38 days and nights it’s the longest non-stop relay ever attempted. The Glasgow opening stage coincides with Scotland’s Climate Week 2022. The Running Out of Time organisers, together with Glasgow City Council, Great Scottish Run, Education Services PEPASS Team, Keep Scotland Beautiful and GlasgowLife launched the relay at Sunnyside Primary School (Nature Champions of the Decade and an Eco-School) where the message was read out by Nikkole Bruce, Arran Muir and Alfie Crichton in Primary 7 year group before being sealed inside the baton for its 7,767km journey. Running Out of Time Co-Founder Jamie Hay says “It’s taken a huge collaborative effort to get this ambitious project to the start line. Our aim is to deliver a powerful message to the decision makers at COP27 with so much support that it is impossible to ignore if we’re to have a hope of securing a transition to a safe climate future. Running Out of Time symbolises the very essence of climate action - it’s an extraordinary, bold, ambitious plan that will only succeed because everyone has worked together. I know we can do it!” Carried by runners, cyclists and sailors, the baton will journey on a route through Scotland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt - arriving to Sharm el-Sheikh on November 5th 2022 in time for COP27 which will take place from 6th-18th November 2022. It will be accompanied by an experienced support crew of James Levelle, Emily Scott, Abe Lim and Mike Borgen. Leader of Glasgow City Council, Councillor Susan Aitken, said: “COP26 shone a light on just how dire the situation facing our planet is and that collective and accelerated action is the only option to save humanity from a global catastrophe. While nation states make pledges, it is cities, like Glasgow, that are delivering on a low carbon and climate resilient future and must remain central to future policy decisions and action. Now we must keep up the pressure on world leaders and governments to make sure that commitments of the Glasgow Climate Pact are delivered. The messages contained within the relay baton will, I’m sure, continue to convey that strength of feeling that we saw here in Glasgow last year. Participating in the Running Out of Time relay to COP27 is another opportunity for Glaswegians to have their voices heard and to show their continued commitment to fighting climate change.” Runners will carry the baton in 5-10km stages of the route which crosses seas, mountain ranges, glaciers, and deserts, villages, towns and capital cities. It will visit hundreds of schools, at-risk locations and climate change projects to inspire and champion local climate action including 27 in the UK alone starting in Scotland with a baton exchange at the Whitelee Wind Farm, the UK's largest onshore wind farm, and Tarras Valley Nature Reserve. At the same time, runners will be fundraising for the Foundation for Environmental Education’s Global Forest Fund and Carbon Copy. The official relay baton has been created by award-winning Glasgow-based designers 4c Design whose many accolades include the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton. The iconic spiral design of the Running Out of Time baton represents the four essential layers of climate action - international, national, local and individual. The climate message written in English and Arabic to decision makers at COP27 will be sealed into the baton at the opening ceremony. The message was crafted by the Foundation for Environmental Education together with Sunnyside Primary School, Glasgow. It says: We are Running Out of Time. Quality climate education is critical if we are to equip people of all ages and in all places with the knowledge and skills necessary to build a future in which all can thrive. Young people need to be recognised as leaders, placed at the forefront of the conversation about climate change and empowered through education. We are calling on the world’s leaders to provide us with the skills and training to build a sustainable world. Our world is warming and to keep the increase to 1.5 degrees we need forward-thinking, consistent policies and funding to help us reach Net Zero Emissions. We are committed to help build a future that is inclusive and sustainable for all. Show by your actions, not just words, that you are too. Help us get there! As part of the relay, more than 434,299 pupils from 736 schools in 82 countries have so far signed up for a Schools Action Day on 3rd November and up to a million are expected to take part. The exciting virtual educational programme will champion climate change solutions while empowering young people to create an environmentally conscious world through experiential, project-based learning. People around the world who are unable to run a stage on the physical route won’t miss out. They’re invited to pass the baton during a Global Virtual Relay on November 5th 2022 which is expected to attract tens of thousands of runners in the name of climate action.

Am in love of this speed... I personally would like to be part of this and run through to the top of climate change mitigating processes. And fight to stop deforestation and work on our best to conserve our grass grounds to milk out more carbon out of the atmosphere. Trying to be loud from my cranium.
The world with its nature, plants, animals, and humans, is great! Let's do everything to preserve it! This initiative will help!

Designing an iconic baton to deliver a climate message from young people to world leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27 is an interesting brief on its own. That it will be carried by thousands of runners, cyclists and sailors in an epic 7,767km relay, crossing seas, mountain ranges, glaciers, and deserts, villages, towns and visiting capital cities along the way while visiting hundreds of schools, at-risk locations and climate change projects to inspire and champion local climate action… well, now you’re talking. Today, organisers of Running Out of Time, the mass participation climate relay from Glasgow, Scotland to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt (Friday 30th September to Sunday 6th November 2022) revealed the official relay baton. The iconic baton has been created by award-winning Glasgow-based designers 4c Design whose many accolades include the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton. The brief was to create an impactful universal symbol to connect globally and inspire action individually. Various designs and forms were dreamt up and some shown, but there was really only ever one design for the baton. It felt right the moment ink touched paper. It utilises 18 seemingly fragile parts representing the nations the baton passes through that are stronger together where the exchange of the baton happens. The iconic spiral rings represent the four essential layers of climate action where impact can be made: international, national, local and individual. Finally, the powerful climate message written in English and Arabic to decision makers at COP27 will be sealed into the baton on the 30th September 2022 at the opening ceremony in Glasgow. The message was crafted by the Foundation for Environmental Education together with Sunnyside Primary School, Glasgow. It says: We are Running Out of Time. Quality climate education is critical if we are to equip people of all ages and in all places with the knowledge and skills necessary to build a future in which all can thrive. Young people need to be recognised as leaders, placed at the forefront of the conversation about climate change and empowered through education. We are calling on the world’s leaders to provide us with the skills and training to build a sustainable world. Our world is warming and to keep the increase to 1.5 degrees we need forward thinking, consistent policies and funding to help us reach Net Zero Emissions. We are committed to help build a future that is inclusive and sustainable for all. Show by your actions, not just words, that you are too. Help us get there! Will Mitchell, Managing Director @4c says “Over the years, we’ve been asked to design batons and trophies for various projects and initiatives and turned all but a few away to stretch out creative muscles. When the Running Out of Time team approached me to see if myself and the team would be up for it – I couldn’t say no. The ambition behind this relay hits so hard with what we need to do as a society that has a significant impact on our industry and lives – it is an honour to help guide it.” Carried by runners, cyclists and sailors, the relay baton will journey on a route over 38 days and nights through Scotland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Israel and Egypt - arriving to Sharm el-Sheikh on November 5th 2022 in time for COP27 which will take place from 6th-18th November 2022. “The baton is a true team effort with others involved from various backgrounds and utilised a lot of leftover materials in our studio. Handcrafted. Machined. Polished. Love and care has been poured over it and I’m excited to see it wear from the thousands of hands it’ll pass and how well it will age once it reaches its final destination.” says Mark Penver – Design Director @4c Runners - from kids to Presidents - will carry the baton in 5-10km stages of the route but people around the world who are unable to run a stage on the physical route won’t miss out. They’re invited to pass the baton during a Global Virtual Relay on November 5th 2022 which is expected to attract tens of thousands of runners in the name of climate action. "Working with 4c to develop the Running Out of Time relay baton has been a fantastic experience. The team understood that the baton is at the heart of the relay's story and spent several workshops with us to explore what it symbolises and how the design and materials used, embody that story. The result is something that is unique and perfectly captures our mission of togetherness in the fight against the climate crisis." says Jamie Hay, Running Out of Time Co-Founder.
