• Really looking forward to learn better how the EUClimatePact and other EU initiatives for sustainability strengthen the social fabric in Europe for climate, environment and nature.
• How does policy account for regional variations and local environmental concerns in the design of climate education activities? 
• Maybe for the next Commission, it would be great to have a lifelong learning for sustainability group where DG EAC and DG EMPL (and CLIMA, INTPA, REGIO, etc) can bring together school, VET, adult and non-formal education and join forces!
• How are all these programmes connected? Are the most visible people in these initiatives of DG EAC, EMPL, ENV etc also EUClimatePact ambassadors/friends? I think great cross-fertilisation is possible or citizen support for common actions. 
• Questions to the youth of the EUTeens4Green projects, what do you expect how the EU and the EUTeens4Green secretariat can support you further during and after your project or community?
• Thank you very much for inviting representatives from different DGs - are there any initiatives from DG REFORM and how the Technical Support Instrument can support reforms in education systems towards competence-based systems?
• Another relevant EU project is NBS EduWORLD: at the crossroads between nature-based solutions and education, it brings together researchers, educators, NBS practitioners to create engaging and educational materials. https://nbseduworld.eu/ 
• Just a comment: compliments to Laura Richter and Damjan Kozarov to speak for this audience. I know from experience it is not easy to speak digitally, to a new audience, and in English. 
• Congrats to young speakers! Its so inpiring to see young leaders working on green actions!
• Hello from the Easy Treesie project in Ireland. Have you heard of the Plant-for-the-Planet challenge by German schoolboy Felix Finkbeiner, age 9 for the children of every country to plant 1M trees ? We're at 400k saplings so far!
  Have you checked out @MeerBomenNu for free trees?
• I'd like to ask, what would be the best funding option to apply for a project focusing on greening education curriculum development targeting the youth (mainly teacher candidates). 

Panelist questions:

• Tim VAN RIE (DG EMPL): community, do you have any green VET examples to share with us?
• Laura MAANAVILJA (DG CLIMA): We know that a lot is happening in schools re: climate education - but there's much beyond (parents, cities, ..) how can we help educators to be empowered to connect between those roles?
• Bénédicte BLAUDEAU (DG ENV): What would help you in planting trees?
• Francesco AMODEO (DG REGIO): if you think young people need a stronger voice in climate actions, please contact Teens4Green - all details in the day programme via my profile.
• Damjan KOZAROV (EU Teens4Green by DG REGIO): How can we empower our communities better to act for climate action?
• Marta KULJON (DG JUST): we are looking forward to welcoming you on our platform very soon!
