We wanted to achieve with the Clean Energy Green Future project the following goals: -Help teachers/students to focus on issues relating to global warming (climate change, renewable energy and recycling) -Work on clean energy to find solutions to environmental problems -Exchange the good practices/experiences for being clean&green organizations -Raise awareness of governments/policymakers to reduce carbon emissions -Learn about different renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass,...) and how they affect climate change -Raise awareness and educate teachers and their students to prevent behaviors that increase carbon emissions from human activities -Develop lesson plans in order to exchange ideas/experience on solutions that will reduce carbon emissions and transfer these solutions to the educational curriculum
Clean Energy Green Future is a small-scale partnership that focuses on energy and climate change. Globally, the use of energy represents by far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. About two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to burning fossil fuels for energy to be used for heating, electricity, transport, and industry. With this project, we aimed students and teachers to raise awareness about CLEAN ENERGY to create a GREEN FUTURE. Since 1990 the frequency of extreme weather events, such as cyclones and floods, has also increased, drought increased and crop yields decreased in some countries. Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment. The problem to teach climate change is also an important issue to be handled and teachers need to use materials and tools to teach it. So with the project, we aimed to: -Help teachers/students to focus on issues relating to global warming (climate change, renewable energy and recycling) -Work on clean energy to find solutions to environmental problems -Exchange the good practices/experiences for being clean&green organizations
