The European Education Area Communication, the European Green Deal and other key initiatives recognize the crucial role of education and training for the green transition. Learners of all ages need to be able to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to live more sustainably, change patterns of consumption and production, embrace healthier lifestyles and contribute – both individually and collectively – to the transformation of our societies.
In many countries, policies and strategies are in place related to environmental and sustainability education. Despite decades of effort and initiatives, learning for environmental sustainability is not yet a systemic feature of policy and practice in the EU.
