The overall objective of this proposal is to generate knowledge on how to promote Youth Goal 10 and SDG 13 in primary education, in order to promote sustainable and responsible environmental behaviors in the new generations of European children. Due to all of the above, SEAC also pursues the following sub-objectives: 1. Contribute to making our localities, especially their youngest citizens (girls and boys in school education), aware of the Youth Goal 10 and SDG 13. 2. To have to our credit, both from the methodological aspect and in our portfolio of services, knowledge and skills to promote sustainable and responsible environmental behaviors in the new generations of European children. 3. To provide primary education teaching professionals with two intellectual outputs that they can use in their day-to-day work to raise awareness on climate change and promote green initiatives in their students. 4.

According to the United Nations (UN), climate change is a consequence of human activity and is threatening the future of the Earth and our way of life. The UN points out that "global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have increased by almost 50% since 1990" or that "the oceans have warmed, the amount of snow and ice has decreased, and the sea level has risen by 19 cm (between 1901 and 2010)". Among other examples, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) underlines that these consequences affect all people, especially children. Despite this, the UN and UNDP emphasize that if "behavioral changes are adopted, it is still possible to limit the increase in global average temperature" and mitigate the negative effects of climate change. The EU, within the framework of the European Commission's 10 priorities, has and is developing actions to protect the environment and counteract the consequences of climate change. For example, promoting a low-carbon, climate-neutral and resource-efficient circular economy (European Green Pact). These actions are framed within the framework of the Youth Goals and the 2030 Agenda, as the EU has them as fundamental to its environmental policies.
