Develop and validate a European Competence Framework for Climate Change and Sustainable Development.
The ECF relies on GreenComp (the European Sustainability Competence Framework), on a participatory, reflective, and deliberative will-formation (broad international crowdsourcing), and on the analysis of relevant scientific literature.
The ECF addresses both individual and collective competences for sustainability in the educational community.
There is an internal and an external validation of the ECF. Inputs from the internal and external processes will support the writing of the final ECF.

Assess the baseline of the individual and collective competences and of the environmental performance of the selected schools and universities
Elaborating a hybrid participatory approach to engage the educational community in evaluating the baseline of sustainability competence through observation initiatives, interviews, questionnaires, audits, IoT solutions, citizen engagement, and citizen science
Co-designing measures to strengthen environmental awareness, engage the school educational community, and strengthen knowledge, skills and attitudes
Implementing innovative organisational structures: Sustainability Competence Teams and Committees

The educational community engages in analysing and proposing solutions to their specific challenges and identifying further opportunities.
A wide range of practical, replicable and scalable climate change and sustainability interventions are implemented
The interventions include both structural and behavioural measures co-designed through the hybrid participatory process
Key performance indicators (KPIs) will contribute to assess the viability and impact of climate and sustainability actions

Assess the capacity of the interventions to enhance individual and collective competences, and improve the performance of the selected educational institutions
Identify reasons for success and failure, and for the design of appropriate solutions.
Describe causal relationships between the intervention and its outcomes
Engender a process of continuous collective learning, improvement, and competence-building

Strengthen environmental awareness amongst citizens and promote the engagement of the entire educational community in action towards behavioural changes headed for sustainability
Integrate a crowdsourcing space
Integrate simulation tools: environmental footprint calculator, retrofitting tool kit, sustainability interventions evaluation
Manage IoT solutions data for real-time monitoring of selected parameters
Facilitate a learning space to promote active learning and engagement by citizens

Promotes the dissemination, visibility and impact of the project,
Define a Transdisciplinary Dialogue Strategy to exchange the expertise and information between the teams, disciplines, and experts involved in the development, testing, and validation of the ECF.
Produce and implement a Plan for Exploitation of ECF4CLIM’s Results
Develop a specific Clustering Activities Plan with other projects
