Education for Sustainability School 2030: energy-climate transition and citizen activation
In person: Palacio Miramar Jauregia · Donostia
The Basque Country has joined the European Green Deal and has its own roadmap for a more sustainable future, providing a way out of the crisis without leaving anyone behind. The Basque Green Deal (BGD) includes the goals of reducing emissions and generating renewable energy, but it is not limited to these areas, as it came about as an economic model with industry and technology as the main drivers, so that science, technology, circular economy, industry, energy transition or the food chain itself are aligned with the same objective: fair and sustainable development.
Education for sustainability is a key tool for achieving the eco-social change and transformation that the fulfilment of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Basque Green Deal set out for a sustainable Basque Country of the future. This second edition of the school is a new opportunity for stakeholders to meet and discuss challenges and share solutions by theme. Focusing different key perspectives on education for sustainability.
