Welcome

Changing with the climate - A Comenius funded educational network that will link schools across Europe to enhance teaching and learning and to encourage positive action in response to climate change.

The changing with the climate network has been set up to develop an understanding of the causes of the observed climatic changes and to initiate actions to minimise these changes.It is an educational network linking schools and classes in exploring the likely impacts of this global concern and what can be done to mitigate and to adapt to such changes.

This will help schools meet the challenge of including within their lesson plans education for sustainable development of which climate change is a priority topic.So the network is compiling resources for teaching such a multi-disciplinary topic; developing a teaching and learning process that will make scientific topics more interesting to students and relevant to their lifestyle; and creating an understanding about the ever increasing need to use energy more sustainably.

The website forms the primary means of information and communication between members of the network, and its contents will be updated regularly. The website is initially available in the seven languages of the partners and will be extended when other countries join.

Information on how to join the network as either a member or associate member is described in activities as well as current and future activities in which active participation is sought. By joining the network and taking part in its activities, your school/class will help to limit the impacts of climate change.

Evidence linking changes in climate to human activities appears regularly in newspapers and on TV and is summarised in the news section.

Educational resources have been collated from various sources and cover the range of topics from climate science to using energy in a more sustainable way and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.

By doing something now, you will be able to help preserve the earth’s climate and maintain it for future generations.
