For schools
YOU control climate change!
Climate change is an issue that affects everyone. Governments and industry are taking measures to fight it, but we as individuals can also make a difference. As a teacher or student, you have the power to make decisions and to change your habits – and you can start at school! As part of its awareness campaign on climate change, the European Commission has launched a programme for secondary schools.
So what can you do? Students and teachers are invited to sign a pledge, either individually or collectively, to reduce their CO2 emissions by making small changes to their daily behaviour. You also can learn more ways to tackle climate change at school by exploring the material in this section.
Discuss in class what more you can do to fight climate change. It's more fun when you do it together and you will also achieve better results!
