Greener schools for a sustainable future: Climate change education

Confirmed dates
Registration form

Regarding 2030 agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals, seek to reconcile economic growth, environmental balance and social progress, ensuring that all people have the same opportunities and can lead a better life without compromising the planet. The influence of human activities on the climate to meet these needs is undeniable. It is a real fact that our actions affect our planet not only at a local level, but also at a global level.

Sustainable development represents the transition from today’s society to a more environmentally friendly one. With the world facing a potential climate crisis – water shortages, drought, hunger, extreme weather – sustainable development goals are to ensure a commitment and balance between economic growth, preservation of the environment and social well-being.

What can we do?

The contribution to sustainable development begins with an awareness process through the calculation of our personal carbon footprint. And schools are the key to initiate change. Schools teach values, habits and customs that go beyond the school area. At school it is possible to find out different ways to mitigate climate change, for example, through renewable energy, building smart buildings, gardens, lighting systems or water management.

Even though the contributions of a certain area or school may seem insignificant compared to the global problem, individual actions are necessary to maintain and improve the life quality of communities. Unfortunately, it took us long time to realize that taking no action affects us negatively. Sustainability on our planet is threatened.

In this course, teachers will find a lot of materials to guide them in this important mission. Climate change not only poses environmental challenges but also affects the economic, social and cultural aspects of our lives, affecting, for example, our landscapes, drinking water and food supply; therefore, teaching only the science behind climate change is not enough, we must involve all topics under a multidisciplinary approach to raise awareness and tackle climate change.

The course will help you developing real actions that help students to reduce their ecological footprint and to show consideration for themselves and for others. Is our school community part of the problem or part of the solution? Let’s help your school community to become a committed place with the environmental wellness. Through small changes we are able to determine the response to this crucial question.
