Project Summary

We are 6 partners from different part of Europe and we all wonder about our environment. Because Earth’s climate changed many times during planet’s history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. What’s different about this period of the earth’s history is that human activities are significantly contributing to natural climate change through our emissions of greenhouse gases. This interference is resulting in increased air and ocean temperatures, drought, melting ice and snow, rising sea levels, increased rainfall, flooding and other influences. Some countries, including all EU Member States, adopted legally-binding targets to limit greenhouse gas emissions in the years up to 2020, under an agreement called the Kyoto Protocol. But even with pledges from other countries to take voluntary action, this was not going to be enough to avoid dangerous climate change. So negotiations were held on a new agreement that would require action by all countries round the world – and on 12 December 2015 in Paris, France, almost 200 governments agreed on the first ever universal, legally-binding deal on climate change. The historic Paris Agreement sets out an action plan to limit global warming to less than 2 °C above the temperature of pre-industrial times. Governments also agreed to try to limit the global temperature rise to maximum 1.5 °C, as scientists around the world agreed that this would significantly reduce risks and impacts of climate change. Besides, The 2030 climate and energy framework includes EU-wide targets and policy objectives for the period from 2021 to 2030. As a result of all this scientific research,we have realized that our students, teachers and staff participating project have lack of information on climate change so we thought that the time is now to tackle climate change and determined six main themes ( chemical products, green house emission, deforestation, air pollution ,drought and flood ) on Effects on Climate Change. Each theme will represent one partner and we will study in detail every one. During the project we will present our work in an ebook

The results we would like to produce are as follows:
The participants involved are expected to:
-to develop and raise awareness an objective understanding of climate change
-to prevent negative impacts of climate change through awareness
– to promote changes on the behaviour of students and communities
-to contribute to decrease green house emissons
-to contribute to decrease deforestration
-to contribute to decrease air pollution
-to contribute to decrease drought and flood
-to bring environmental and health benefits –e.g through reduced air pollution
-to increase using renewable energy
-to improve energy efficiency
-to prepare an ebook to guide on climate change

Target groups of the project are students, teachers, school administration, parents, members of NGO and NGO administration. Participants especially sudents will build our future. With this motivation we lead students to achieve specific and general goals:
– to raise awareness about environment problem;
– to gain interest on climate change;
– to provide citizenship training and personal development;
– in terms of responsibility, creativity and criticality;
– to lead students in a playful way to acquire knowledge and skills of curricular areas; experience new ways of learning and life;
– to allow acculturation; use resources sustainably to be responsible citizens and use them rationally; create greater autonomy;
– to have the opportunity to collaborate and develop skills in international teams using English as a language and establish partnerships with participating countries; adopt good environmental practices and be proactive in environmental issues;
– to adopt an eco friendly stance and achieve more sustainability to safeguard the future of populations and the planet.

We will have 6 mobilities for LTTA. Every partner school will be responsible for the topics below:
1) France-(Implementation Manager) clean nature, clean wildlife: presentation about the effect of climate change on species live in November 2020
2) Latvia-(Risk Manager) clean air, clean breath: presentation about the impact of climate change on industry and energy in January 2021
3) Turkey-(Social Media Manager) clean attraction, clean tourism: presentation about the impact of climate change on tourism in June 2021
4) Belgium-(Communication Manager) clean field, clean product: presentation about the effect of climate change on agriculture in October 2021
5) Portugal-(Impact Manager) clean water, clean life: presentation about the influence of climate change on landscape water regime and water management in February 2022
6) Czechia; (Dissemination Manager) clean society, clean city: presentation about the impact of climate change on human health and hygiene in June 2022
