“Don’t call it change” is a project created in the framework of Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme). It responds to the priority of engaging citizens in the discussion related to climate and green issues. It takes its name from the fact that the climate and life on the planet are constantly changing, but human activities have accelerated this constant modification turning a physiological change into a crisis causing imbalance and discriminations. In the wide topic of climate crisis, the partnership focuses on its intersectional consequences on specific dimensions: human rights, migrations, gender equality and ocean and marine life.

CERV, Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values
The objective of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values program is to protect and promote rights and values as enshrined in the EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. In particular, by supporting civil society organisations active at local, regional, national and transnational level.
It aims to sustain and develop open, rights-based, democratic, equal and inclusive societies based on the rule of law. That includes a vibrant and empowered civil society, encouraging people's democratic, civic and social participation and cultivating the rich diversity of European society, based on our common values, history and memory.
