Croatia
- Lack of educational materials: The lack of specialized textbooks and resources that are adapted for climate change teaching can tend to create curriculum and materials.
- Lack of education: Teachers may not have enough training or education on current scientific knowledge about climate change, which can limit them in properly communicating information.
- Awareness and interaction with students: Sometimes there is a challenge in raising awareness among students about the importance of climate change and the need for action to address these changes.
- Encouraging activism: Encouraging students to actively participate in environmental conservation can be a challenge, as it requires engagement and practical actions outside the classroom.
- Connecting to real situations: Connecting climate change to concrete local situations and student examples can be challenging, as it requires adapting global themes to local circumstances.

Greece
- I try to change my schoolyard by planting, hanging less garbage, by composting, recycling.
Ireland
- Happy to say that climate deniers are no longer an issue here in Ireland which is I guess one bit of good news, probably due to the big climate education movement in Ireland. Inspiring ACTION is our issue.
- Sustainability is a core in Home Economics in Irish secondary schools.. Challenge : the need for grounds to become good examples of sustainabilty ..aka resources for solar energy , recycling structures , compoating structures Teaching skills for a curcular economy : skills for upcycling fabric , repairing materials To continue the education about sustainability that starts in primary schools into secindary schools eg growing veg
- I am a home Economics teacher in an Irish secondary school. I am supporting students who are creating a school garden .The students are funded by
Euteens4green.
Italy

ideas to overcome them
- Implementing Whole School Approach
- Let's collaborate and share! 😊
- Keeping in touch with teachers about activities to increase awareness about green
- Teacher training through Erasmus academies
- Since challenges can be different among countries a repository of initiatives and successful projects where to find inspiration can be helpful
- Until policy makers are prepared to make the space in schools for green education it will remain marginal and we will not make real progress
- post primary level..GReenhouses, garden beds , composting , recycling , solar energy, sewong machines etc to promote textile upcycling
- A challenge is our educator job but we have to depart from children imagination and not from our own vision
- Discover decisional trees to help understand the complexity of sustainability https://www.uniforchange.uliege.be/cms/c_18831823/en/uniforchange-thema…
- I think teaching subjects and sustainability shouldn’t be two different aspects. It has to be and need to be integrated skilfully into subjects.
- I agree we need to get kids out of the classroom looking at their own local environment - doing 60% less than pre-Covid
- Transform education systems for interdisciplinary curricular structure and promote active learning pedagogies
- Schools as living labs
- Sustainabilty is now 1/3 of the home economcis curicullum in junior cycle in Ireland ..this has been a success
- Climate education resources from EUROGEO - available at https://www.eurogeography.eu/projects/geodem/gallery-of-resources-2/
