In our era of climate change and natural disasters, raising awareness and nurturing a sense of responsibility for our planet's future is crucial. The climate emergency impacts various aspects of life and is intertwined with other challenges, exacerbating inequalities, affecting health, and posing threats to future generations. Teaching sustainable living is essential to help children comprehend their role in environmental stewardship, prompting them to make informed choices in areas like energy conservation, waste recycling, and pollution reduction. Additionally, engaging in critical discussions about planetary issues fosters skills such as observation, analysis, and problem-solving. While future generations will ultimately be responsible for preserving our planet, their education on this matter relies on us. The Green Works! project aimed to equip teachers with tools for promoting environmental awareness in a positive and proactive manner. Embracing environmental education as a cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the project approached the subject with optimism and a call to action, steering clear of the pessimism often associated with discussions about the environmental and climatic future.
