Background

Climate Change is a global problem that affects everyone and we have to generate a positive interdependence to generate solutions. What we do in Southern Europe affects Northern Europe and vice versa. Rethinking what we do, what we eat, how we consume energy, how we move, ...even how we design and innovate has become a Responsibility of Internationalization. The carbon footprint measures the impact on the Planet through the amount of greenhouse gases we produce with our activities. Only by making our students aware of how much fuel or how much energy we need, will we really be able to manage change. The movement of carbon is essential in these measures and in decision-making at the individual and collective level. A low carbon impact school needs a social involvement that begins in School Education. It is necessary to develop a Center Policy that is fully committed to a sustainable and environmentally friendly College. Education at the service of Europe to transform the Virgen del Carmen School into "LCES Low Carbon Emissions School". (Own name).
