Main Info
TCA Description
Schools play a key role in raising awareness about climate change and
climate responsibility. Education can contribute to building a sustainable
future and prepare learners to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. Everyone should

planet’s future. This seminar will highlight the role of schools in increasing
climate enthusiasm and climate responsibility.
