Project summary

As described in detail in the EU's 2020 and 2030 long-term strategy, environmental and climate change is directly related to the quality of life of people. Climate sustainability is important for future generations to be able to use and benefit from natural resources. All countries should pay special attention to the five sectors based on Green and Renewable economies in the field of environmental literacy. These include: renewable energy, sustainable transport, green construction, sustainable tourism, energy efficiency and management, etc. It is very important for our country and our world to raise conservationist entrepreneurs for these sectors. The EU's 2030 strategy is a binding legislative framework to ensure that it achieves climate and energy targets. The EU's progress towards a low-carbon economy and the fulfilment of commitments under the Paris Agreement will only be achieved through green growth and conservationist generations. Many schools have participated in our Etwinning project on Environment and climate. Our goal with eTwinning Partners is to raise conservationist generations in our schools and regions and to raise awareness of climate-environmental literacy. According to the results of the survey, the most important problem with regard to Environment and climate is the lack of awareness of the new generation and the conservationist entrepreneurship knowledge and vision.
