Background

CEATY is an online climate and energy training initiative designed to contribute to EU target to net zero emissions by 2050 by education, public awareness and cooperation. Led by the need for collective climate action CEATY partners recognized a gap in existing educational initiatives. Based on their experience in both formal education and clean energy sector, partners identified a lack of accessible and relevant climate education engaging young people to be agents of change. CEATY partners aimed to develop a complete online climate and energy training program to cater to specific needs and learning styles of school children aged 12 to 16. CEATY aimed to foster an understanding of climate change and green energy sources among young people by knowledge and promotion of sustainable practices within families, schools, and wider communities. CEATY recognized teachers' role in disseminating climate literacy, enhanced their understanding of climate science and clean energy solutions, their expertise in digital tools for effective education. CEATY created a lasting impact on educational practices and climate awareness into school curricula, inspiring a shift in values and behaviour for a greener and sustainable future for all.
