One of the main tasks of this Partnership is to compile a manual that gives background information on the links between the conservation of forests and the protection of the climate

PROJECT TITLE: Forests and climate protection – merging topics in environmental education Project description This Learning Partnership brings together five NGOs and two foundations from six countries. It will foster the dialogue of staff in different fields of work within the participating NGOs and build the basis for intercultural dialogue that supports learning from different national experiences.Forests as well as climate are both major topics in environmental education. But up to now, they are generally dealt with separately and in different courses. Only recently, international negotiations in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change have linked these two fields of work and sparked a lively discussion on the role of forests in climate protection. Environmental NGOs need to keep track of this, as it offers a chance to reorient their educational approaches and to reach a broader audience of adult learners. All NGOs participating in this Learning Partnership have a strong background of work both on forest and climate issues. Leggi tutto “It aims at developing new approaches in environmental education that take into account the intricate relation of forests and climate”
