Who are we?
The Education for Climate Coalition is the European participatory community to support teaching and learning for the green transition and sustainable development.
“’To make a difference’ – this is what the #EducationForClimate Coalition is all about. To make a difference in your school, in your neighbourhood, in the very region you live and to contribute actively to the green transition our societies go through.”
Former Commissioner Mariya Gabriel
As a flagship initiative of the European Education Area and an essential part of the European Green Deal, the Education for Climate Coalition is part of the European Union’s comprehensive approach to sustainability education.
We support the creation and management of a pan-European community of practice that makes sense first and foremost for the education community at large. In this way, we are aligned with the Council recommendation on teaching and learning for the green transition and sustainable development and GreenComp, the sustainability competence framework, with its participatory approach for taking action on education for climate challenges on the ground.
Who is it for?
The Education for Climate Coalition gathers the whole education community in the EU. This includes:
- teachers, educators, pupils, students, trainers and parents across all formal, informal and non-formal education levels and institution types and sectors
- people active in every part of the education system – from early childhood care to adult learning, from museums to industry
- education stakeholders and other education bodies at local, regional, national and European levels.
