PRIORITY · CLIMATE
Eco-literacy, sustainable development, and climate action through education.
Climate change is an education challenge as much as an environmental one. Our work spans four connected areas — eco-literacy, sustainable development, green education, and climate action — building the literacy, skills, and habits that communities need to participate in the green transition, not just understand it.
THE CHALLENGE
The climate transition needs educators, too.
The EU has committed to climate neutrality by 2050, but the human side of that transition is lagging the technical one. Citizens — especially adults outside formal education — often lack the basic eco-literacy needed to participate meaningfully in green policy, green careers, or green everyday choices.
Without inclusive climate education, the green transition risks deepening existing inequalities: those with the resources and education to adapt will benefit, while those without will be left behind. A just transition requires reaching everyone — with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools to take part.
OUR APPROACH
How we approach climate work.
Across all four areas — eco-literacy, sustainable development, green education, and climate action — our work follows four guiding principles.
Eco-literacy as a baseline
We treat climate understanding as a foundational competence — not specialist knowledge — and develop resources that meet learners where they are.
Local action, global frame
Our programmes connect day-to-day choices and local environments to the wider European and global transition.
Inclusive participation
Reaching adults who are not in formal education — through community settings, peer networks, and accessible formats.
Practical, action-oriented
Not just awareness — concrete habits, skills, and tools people can apply in their own lives, workplaces, and communities.
WHAT WE DELIVER
What we deliver in climate.
Across our climate-focused projects, our work covers four connected areas:
Eco-literacy programmes
Open educational resources, curricula, and training materials teaching the foundations of ecology, climate science, and environmental thinking — designed for adult and non-formal learning contexts.
Sustainable development tools
Resources connecting individual and community choices to the wider sustainable development agenda — covering consumption, energy, food systems, and circular economy practice.
Green education
Training and capacity-building for educators, trainers, youth workers, and community leaders who deliver climate and environmental topics in their own settings.
Climate action engagement
Workshop models, community campaigns, and engagement formats that move beyond awareness into concrete action — at the individual, community, and policy level.
Cross-sector partnerships
Bringing together schools, NGOs, local authorities, and environmental organisations to deliver coordinated responses.
