We involved in etwinning projects related to climate. It was great projects

# data[].attributes.body
My students are inolved in etwinning projects to sensitize them to the problems of the environment and climate change. Because it is a problem of all citizens, so they are focused on our local/world problems. With the projectsstudents changed their habits . And the school projets about this subjects and the school and family actions help a lot the students, such as the participation in many actions: i.e: Global Actions Days and local actions: Eco-Escolas.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion this webinar "EU actions to support learning for the green transition" by Deirdre Hodson has been very useful because as teachers it's important to be familiar and contextualize the regulatory framework, recommendations and other programs that can influence the actions taken as a center to guarantee our schools green transitions.

- Why is a competence for sustainability necessary in schools?

Because education and the future generations, our Young students, are the key for o better and more sustainable world. As educators we must be ready to embrace new solutions and be flexible to face the new society needs. We should increase our students awareness about the problems of the Earth, the climate change, the ODS, our habits and work on methodologies and strategies to help them to take an active role, local and globally in small environmental actions.

What competence actions are you carrying out in your school?
We are carrying different actions,a t school level (local campaigns "marató energètica", at erupean level "Euronet 50/50 which saves energy based on the application of good practices and in the use and management of energy (ecenomic incentive obtained with the savings goes to improve energetically the school) and at class level, for example through eTwinning projects as “Dear Earth , join the great misión to love our home: the Earth” https://live.etwinning.net/projects/project/198492 or “The wonders, five senses to understand the world” https://live.etwinning.net/projects/project/335579 . In the future we want to learn cooperatively thanks our Erasmus accreditation (visiting interesting and expert eco-schools, for exemple)

- What kind of help and training does your educational authority offer you?

There are some courses in our “Departament d’educació” but we are quite overwhelmed with other issues... nobody at school is attending them... Next course we will begin a plan GEP (Plurilingual generation) a program accompanied by training and we want to delve in CLIL and program arts and crafts along all the primary course including STEAM and ODS.
-  What would you need in your school to support you, your colleagues and your students to work on environmental issues?
More resources, the idea of “a coaching” given by Deirdre Hodson was great, perhaps we could contact someone as Erasmus expert visit, better teachers preparation and training...
- What helps you right now and what blocks you?
Help: eTwinning, Erasmus, the visible impacts og global warming that raise the level of concern about climate change.
Block: The lack of time, as a teachers we are most part of our “time without classes” writing reports and attending meetings… this important decissions need time to speak and discuss to create something really sustainable…attend courses need time…
Thank you for the webinar

The Wester Balkan Countries all aspire to membership in the European Union and have recently re-affirmed their commitment to joining European Union in the race to climate neutrality by 2050 by signing up to the EU's Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. However, countries rely mostly on coal and oil for their primary energy supply. Renewables also take part in the energy mix primarily through traditional use of biomass in inefficient domestic devices followed by large hydro. Modern sources of renewable energy are at an early stage of development. Energy and carbon intensity of the region is comparatively high both to the EU and the World average values.

The factsheets and brochure give lot of information on the status of energy transition in the WB countries.

RESEARCH PAPER: North Macedonia - Energy Transition and Democracy

The purpose of this study, divided in two main parts, is to first present an overview of the current energy policies and the progress of North Macedonia towards achieving the aims in the frame of its energy strategy; and secondly, to map out the local initiatives that have the potential of creating their own local energy communities. To map out the potential for creating sustainable energy communities, the study will in its first part provide an overview of the factors affecting the energy sector, the potential for renewable energy production and related policies.

POLICY BRIEF: North Macedonia Energy transition and Democracy

In its latest energy strategy, adopted at the beginning of 2020, North Macedonia projects complete coal and lignite phase out latest by 2040. The country has been praised as the first country from the Western Balkans to set such ambitious goals. In spite of its determination to move towards a green future in line with its EU accession process, the country continues struggling with air pollution, waste management issues, and inefficient energy market liberalization. The aim of the policy brief is to address these issues through an analysis of recent developments in energy transition of the country.
In addition, the brief offers solutions through democratization of the process of energy transition and reviews and maps out the potential for citizen energy.

Out of pace or out of the race?

Our world is facing one of its greatest challenges: the race to zero (emissions) and climate-neutrality.
Science tells us almost everything we need to know about the rules of this race. Moreover, most countries have read these and signed-up to enter the race years ago, in Paris, in 2015.
The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, was adopted by 196 countries at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016.
Its main goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.

Mostly burning fossil fuels, inefficiently

Contracting parties of the Energy Community from the Western Balkans rely mostly on coal and oil for their primary energy supply. Renewables also take part in the energy mix primarily through traditional use of biomass in inefficient domestic devices followed by large hydro. Modern sources of renewable energy are at an early stage of development.
Energy and carbon intensity of the region is comparatively high both to the EU and the World average values.

Stuck in coal, in breach of emission standards

Western Balkans is the home to the most polluting thermal power plants in Europe. Despite the fact that Contracting Parties committed themselves to significantly reduce dust, SO2 and NOx emissions in line with the provisions of the Large Combustion Plants Directive by 31 December 2017, emissions are still huge and larger than prescribed limits. Some of the plants exceeded prescribed limits for SO2 emissions by as much as 15 times.

2020: Out of Pace

The Western Balkan contracting parties to the Energy Community Treaty are below RES indicative trajectories and are highly likely to fall short of meeting the 2020 RES targets. The methodology for monitoring of the EE saving is less robust and it is more difficult to predict the target attainment. Targets for CO2 reduction by 2030 are not ambitious enough considering its main purpose -combatting the climate change. The largest contracting party has the least ambitious target.

Energy poverty: poor or wasteful?

If the region wants to pursue energy transition the issue of energy affordability needs to be carefully addressed. Energy poverty is widespread in the region. The fact that biomass generated energy is the most important source of heatingfor the households, but also of the extreme levels of the air pollution (PM) in the Western Balkans is essential to address in the policy design processes. Network energy share is the share of electricity, natural gas and district heating in
household consumption.

We have environmental education projects at school, eTwinning ones usually, to enable Ss to become active agents of change towards really caring for the Earth and acting towards that goal. We even have an environmental literacy part in our erasmus+ project "Literally EUnited" in which we have partners from France, Italy, Turkey, Poland and Hungary. The environmental mobility was held in my school, the Geniko Lykeio Neou Skopou in March. We visited Lake Kerkini, Cave Alistrati, and various other places of interest and had many environmental activities there.

I hope that we will stop using coal to produce electricity as soon as possible. I hope we have more pedestrian zones and fewer cars. I have been walking to school and back for years instead of using public transportation. I hope that we will have better public transport so that people do not drive their cars. Instead of parked cars on the sidewalks, we will have more green promenades. I hope that we will ban plastics, ban smoking in public places, have green classrooms, and hold classes outside whenever the weather allows. I hope we will have classrooms out there, and for our Dream School video, My Students won second place in the eTwinning competition in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I hope that eTwinning will help me teach my students about the green transition. Here is the link to our video:

I involved my students in etwinning projects to sensitize them to a variety of problems of the environment and climate change. We focused on our local problems. Thanks to the projects they changed their habits a bit but some things need more time. However, we sparked the action of making our school surrounding greener which is a huge asset and those students really avoid plastic paskages, save on electricity and water and pay attention to other students wasting those things :)

In 2019 Greta Thunberg made clear that we have a climate change and that we must finally change our lifestyle, that we must live in a sustainable way.A fact we have known for longtime. The fact was also known in the 19th century. Mark Twain said that everybody is talking about the weather, but nobody does anything for the climate.The climate changed often during the long life of our earth. We know the consequences. Now, we have a new situation.  We have a climate change, and the cause is not outside in the orbit and not inside the earth, like volcanos. The cause is the population: We, our lifestyle. That is a real other situation.We are aware every day, that time is running.

- Why is this Climate Change different to others?
- Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?
- How we can refute climate change deniers?
The effects of climate change that we are already witnessing are unlike anything else we have seen so far.
A few years ago it was thought that global warming was only the rise in temperatures, melting ice and rising sea levels in the long run.
Today we can say that this increase in temperature is due to the continuous growth and concentration of greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. All this makes this climate change faster and more relevant than the temperature changes that have occurred in the last ten thousand years, that is, how long our civilization has existed.
Climate change has always affected the Earth. Until a few centuries ago they were slow, if due to natural phenomena such as the oscillations of the Earth's axis, or lasted a few years, if due to volcanic phenomena.
Two factors make this change different:
1. Humankind is responsible for it this time! In fact, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the concentration of methane gas, the concentration of nitrous oxide and the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide have increased due to the massive use of fossil fuels in human activities.
2. The ongoing climate changes are so rapid that they endanger the adaptability of living things.

Climate change is there for all to see, it is the facts that demonstrate it and nature itself has repeatedly shown us its omnipotence by rebelling against this system. On the other hand, there are many scientific demonstrations to confirm this.

How many planets do we need?
We wouldn't need another planet if we just took care of it. We have to get up the sleeves of our shirt, get our hands dirty, to mitigate the climate we need love and tenacity, to live alongside biodiversity, to be included in it, to be part of the terrestrial ecosystem, to live the rules that regulate the terrestrial nature. But if we continue like this we would need 2 more reserve planets. Our generation is the first to decide its history, the future is in our hands.

Is it the same everywhere?
It is not the same everywhere, the most industrialized countries have a major impact on the health of our planet. This pandemic showed us how the lockdown caused nature to recover its spaces. Perhaps this terrible experience may have taught everyone something.

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?
Deforestation, industrialization, neglect of the seas, pollution

# data[].attributes.body
How many planets do we need?
I believe the number of planets we need depends on the lifestyle we lead. I need more than two planets.... I drive a car, don't use means of transport frequently and do at least one trip by plane every year.

Is it the same everywhere?
I believe in developed countries people's lifestyle is not very environment friendly, However, there have been serious attempts to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle,

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?
Natural resources  have been overused. The global warming has led to ice pole melting leading to serious environmental disasters, such as extreme weather conditions which result in climate refugees.

To my mind Climate Change is the most crucial issue that everyone should aware of it. The message seems to be clear::Earth's climate is rapidly changing as a result of human activity. I do not understand the ones that are still reluctant to acknowledge it.
Last year I created an event with my students to clean our school yard and take care of trees in order to be example students to the other ones of our school. Creating this event I wanted my students to be aware of climate change in early age. And that is our video link.

I think the most challenging one is to resist  all these changing routines,digital life and accept  that there is no planet to live .We have to know what is the problem exactly .After that we solve all the problems like climate change,global warming,deforestation,overexploitation of natural resources.. etc.

As a teacher and a mother , i can raise awareness and i and my pupils organise to do something  to deal with problems via the projects.It increases the consciousness and affects some other people around us.

1- Why is this climate change different from others?
It is different because it causes natural disasters and It kills many organisms and affects the biological diversity

2- Why are we so concerned about climate change?
Because it affects humans and our environment, droughts and floods,storms...destroys agriculture causing hunger, water crises,health risks, it affects the society and economy.

How can we refute climate change deniers?
We can ask them what about the melting of the icebergs and what about extreme weather causing disasters happening all around the world.
we shouldn't have a conversation with a climate change denier . After all, it's important to remember that the mass majority of people  know climate change is real.

I have no contact with environmental associations. In our school, some teachers carry out projects related to nature, such as the "Educational Garden" laboratory, others to climate change and pollution through reading workshops, but at the moment we are not working in synergy at school level. Since this year I have been the Referent for education for sustainable development and for environmental sustainability actions in my school, so I am currently involving my colleagues through a series of events. The second step will consist in developing a series of projects together on the objectives of the 2030 agenda, as well as an etwinning project with my class.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is this Climate Change different to others?

Because of industrialisation at high speed the climate is changing, and if we don't change, the consequences will be fatal since we have already reached the verge of a cliff.

Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?

Because of the speed at which these changes are occurring, and if we don't stop future generations will have to live on a planet full of waste, without clean water, breathing in polluted air. This planet will become a dangerous planet to live on.

How we can refute climate change deniers?

They just have to face mere facts: the poles are melting, the temperature keeps rising, the sea is full of plastic waste, the food we eat contains microplastic, the air is polluted, there are more and more endangered and extinct species, deforestation. The ones who deny climate change are blinded by profit, and beyond all extremely selfish.

Methods of maintaining environmental balance

Earth's creatures interact with their environment in a delicately balanced cycle. Plants use energy from the sun and become food for other creatures. The cycle continues as plant and animal life dies and is consumed by microorganisms. But this cycle of life is at risk from the overuse of mankind for natural resources and damage to the ecosystem from pollution. Read on to learn more about maintaining balanced ecosystems.

How many planets do we need?

We need only this one.

Is it the same everywhere?

No, it isn't. I am sure there are places all over our planet that are facing eve more severe problems than my country. For instance, lack of fresh water, extreme air pollution. The situation is definitely worse in urban areas than in rural ones. Besides that, some people are not willing to make a change, they simply do not care.

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?

Very many of them, and some of them are almost irreparable, people keep producing too much plastic waste, they keep expoiting forests and natural resources without even wondering where the limit it. Driven by profit, factories keep working, our air is polluted, and the management which runs these factories is
not willing to invest money in finding more eco friendly solutions to keep these factories running.

Do you have any contact with an Environmental group or NGO? Which one?
Yes, we do. We work with Association Sunce, which is known, at the national and international level, as one of the leading organizations for the protection of nature and environment in Croatia. Our pupils have pariticipated in numerous projects organized by this association, and these projects have been implemented in our school curriculum.
Does your Educational Authority give information and advice to your school? In what way?
To a certain extent it does, through seminars organized by the National Agency. Various projects have already taken place in our school, such as From Waste to Toys, We eat responsibly, Be healthy and happy!, Water – the source of life, Renewable Energy Sources. And we have also implemented a very successful eTwinning project in our school - Zero Waste Zero Lost Movement (this project was awarded the European Quality Label), so the next project should deal with SDGs, where we could make teams to deal with different areas of this topic, organising workshops, competitions, debates related with the topic.

Let's close it if we are not using it. Mobile phone, tablet, computer, television or any electronic item you can think of. If you don't use it, why would it stay open? Turn off the plug, not the button. When you are not using your electronic devices, unplug them so that no electricity is consumed. To protect our world
Let's increase the recycling awareness. Let's try to make recycling a habit and make it a part of our lives. Let's not accumulate vegetable oils, for example. Let's throw the materials, such as batteries, glass, plastic, metal, aluminum, which have lost their function and end their useful life, into their recycling bins.
Let's give importance to thermal insulation. The thermal insulation we will have in our homes will save energy in half. Uninsulated buildings cause energy to be blown into the air; Not only does it pollute the environment, it also exhausts our pocket. Once the thermal insulation is done, snow is provided in the long term.
Try to use solar energy as much as possible. We can obtain hot water and meet our needs without disturbing the balance of nature with solar energy.
Let's use energy-saving bulbs, for example. These saving lamps consume much less energy than older technology lamp models. Moreover, it has a longer life.
Before purchasing electronic goods, make sure to buy products that provide high efficiency with low energy consumption. Energy-saving products are a powerful measure against global warming.

Biz kirlilikler üzerine bu kadar giderken küresel ısınma, küresel iklim değişikliği gibi konularda da aynı bilince sahip miyiz sizce? Bu sorunun yanıtı çeşitlenebilir sanki... Nedenlere, nasıllara geçmeden önce nedirleri kurcalamak istiyoruz.

Küresel ısınma ne demek, kısaca...

Küresel ısınmanın ne anlama geldiğini uzun uzun " Küresel ısınma nedir?" başlıklı makalemizde ele almıştık.Yazının tamamını okumak için tıklayın. Burada da üzerinden kısaca geçelim. Küresel ısınmayı en basit haliyle şu şekilde açıklayalım. Atmosfere salınan gazların neden olduğu düşünülen, Dünya üzerinde yıl boyunca kara, deniz ve havada ölçülen ortalama sıcaklıklarda meydana gelen ısı artışına verilen isimdir. Küresel ısınmanın nedenlerini ele alacak olursak karşımıza birkaç madde çıkıyor. Bunların temelinde nüfus artışı ve buna bağlı enerji tüketimi geliyor haliyle. Nüfus artışını, toprak kullanımı ve sanayinin gelişmesi takip ediyor. Evet, sanayi gelişimi hepimizin hayatına pek çok olumlu dokunuş yapıyor olsa da konu dünya olunca "bilinçsizlik" sonucu bu dev gelişimler olumsuz etkileri de beraberinde getiriyor olabilir. Atmosferdeki sera gazlarının artması nedeniyle iklim değişiklikleri yaşanıyor.

Küresel ısınma sonuçları

Yukarıda saydığımız nedenler küresel ısınmayı doğururken, küresel ısınma da ciddi "yaşamsal" sorunların doğmasına neden oluyor. Bir taşı devirirken, beraberinde pek çok taşı da yerle bir etmiş oluyoruz yani. Küresel ısınmanın sonuçlarını, etkilerini hali hazırda duyarak değil yaşayarak deneyimliyoruz. Buzullar eriyor örneğin. O kocaman buz parçaları göz göre göre eriyor. Yağmurlar artık çiselemekten çok uzakta, sağanak olarak yağıyor. Sağanak yağışlarındaki artış denizlerin su düzeyinde yükselmelere yol açıyor. Bu yükselmeler de fırtına ve sel hasarlarının artmasına neden oluyor. Buharlaşma miktarındaki artık da kuraklığa etki ediyor. Karşımıza bir kısır döngü çıkıyor ve bu labirentin için çıkış yolu bulmak için uğraşıp duruyoruz. Peki bu çıkış yolu nedir, gelin bundan bahsedelim şimdi...

Küresel ısınmayı azaltıcı tedbirler nelerdir?

Nedirleri konuştuk, nedenlerde boğulduk, sonuçlarla yoğrulduk şimdi sıra geldi nasıllara. Küresel ısınmanın da bir çaresi var elbette. Bunu birey olarak biz nasıl başaracağız işte bunun ayrıntılarını vereceğiz şimdi. Hiç de sandığınız kadar zor değil, her biri hayatımızda yapacağımız basit yer değişimlerinden ibaret. Peki nedir bunlar, işte küresel ısınmayı nasıl önleyebileceğimize dair basit ipuçları;

Kullanmıyorsak kapatalım. Cep telefonu, tablet, bilgisayar, televizyon ya da aklınıza gelen her elektronik eşya. Eğer kullanmıyorsanız neden açık kalsın ki? Düğmesinden değil fişinden kapatın. Elektronik eşyalarınızı kullanmadığınız zamanlarda fişlerinden çekin ki boşuna elektrik sarfiyatı yaşanmasın. Dünyamızı koruması da cabası

Geri dönüşüm bilincini arttıralım. Geri dönüşümü alışkanlık haline getirip, hayatımızın bir parçası yapmaya gayret edelim. Bitkisel yağları biriktirmeyelim örneğin. İşlevini yitiren, kullanım ömrünü sonlandıran pil, cam, plastik, metal, alüminyum gibi materyalleri geri dönüşüm kutularına atalım.

Isı yalıtımına önem verelim. Evlerimize yaptıracağımız ısı yalıtımı, yarı yarıya enerji tasarrufu sağlayacaktır. Yalıtımsız binalar, havaya enerji savrulmasına neden olur; çevreyi kirletmekle kalmaz, cebimizi de bir hayli yorar. Isı yalıtımı bir kere yapıldı mı uzun vadede kar sağlanır.

Mümkün olduğunca güneş enerjisi kullanmaya gayret edin. Güneş enerjisiyle doğanın dengesini bozmadan da sıcak su elde edip, ihtiyaçlarımızı karşılayabiliriz.

Enerji tasarrufu sağlayan ampuller kullanalım örneğin. Bu tasarruf sağlayan lambalar, eski teknoloji lamba modellerine göre çok daha az enerji tüketir. Üstelik daha uzun ömürlüdür.

Elektronik eşya satın almadan önce, düşük enerji tüketimi ile yüksek verim sağlayan ürünler almaya özen gösterin. Enerji tasarruflu ürünler, küresel ısınmaya karşı güçlü bir önlemdir.

Our world is enough. But we must protect it. The only place we can live is the world. We must protect it for our future.
People polluted the environment, causing global warming.
That is why glaciers are melting at the poles, animals are extinct and the world is rapidly deserting. If all humanity takes action for the world, something can change.

Biodiversity expresses the number of species present in the community. It is very important because it provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services.
Reports present that humans are having an “unprecedented” and devastating effect on global biodiversity, with about 1 million animal and plant species now threatened with extinction.So, let's realize that we have do act before the end comes.
Important questions and answers:

How many planets do we need?
We need one healthy planet that secures our healthy living. Earth is our planet.

Is it the same everywhere?
No, I beleive that they are places in the Earth that faces more problems than others. But problems exist in a degree everywhere.

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?
Many ... many lines! Humans do not behave with respect thinking of the results at present and in the future.

We have a contact with a local environmental group which we inform us about the flora and fauna of our Mountain Parnitha. However, as we are planning to get involved in an environmental project next year ,we will be contacting WWF in Greece and ask for their support and guidance.

Does your Educational Authority give information and advice to your school? In what way?

There is a very big environmental network for schools which support teachers with lots of workshops and trainings. The schools which participate in the network  organise lots of environmental trips where they exlore the natural beauties of my country.

As technology improves, and human population increases, I think it will be inevitable to have other planets to live on. But humankind's "home" is earth.  Any other place will be a shelter until humankind totally adapts to it. It is important to learn from mistakes. We don't have the luxury to make any other mistake. We are at a point that there is no coming back. We should teach kids to respect nature, and should apply deterrent punishments to those who don't. It is not only the nature, water, soil,plants and animals humankind damages. Everyone should see this. All the beings are connected. If you hurt one chain of this cycle, it will eventually come back to you. Water levels are raising and  in a few years, we will witness drastic effects. The red line we already crossed is causing the melting of glaciers :(

Every climate change is the same,and the one we live now is no different then other
The difference is  that we are living it
It's not something that we read about or heard about,we are experiencing it first hand,we are a part of it
Many people say that our planet went through this kind of a faze before and we are just going through a stage of a grafic
Now my question for the is do you really want to feel it on your own how bat it can get
Or you want to be a part of the solution and improve what we have and change the grafic itself.

# data[].attributes.body
The thought alone of thinking how many planets we might need is a sign of failure already,in my opinion
We can't just sweep the dirt under the rug and pretend is not there
We,all have to take part in change and try our best to fix and  improve what we have ,we only have one planet  and we  have to fix what it's broken because we did it .
We are crossing line after line every day,from deforestation to waste management ,
A single degree in our oceans means so much,a matter or life or death
It take so little effort to destroy something but to bring it back to normal might take the time that we simply might've run out

DAY 3

Why is this Climate Change different from others?
while other changes are regional, this change covers a wider area and temperatures are increasing day by day. Increasing rate of melting glaciers and decreasing rate of water are among the indicators showing the difference of this climate change.

Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?
Because people are more unconscious about this and cannot predict what the results will be. they are aware of the rapid and negative changes in the world.

How can we refute climate change deniers?
spreading viruses, extinct diversity, melting glaciers, rising air temperatures, reduction of water, etc. are proofs of climate change.

We explored the work of Sebastião Salgado, an important Brazilian photographer, who has photographed the contrasts of development in the world.

How many planets do we need?
When I think of the fact that there is no different planet we can go to and there are no other planets to live in, another planet is unfortunately not already.

Is it the same everywhere?
I don't think this is the same everywhere. I think this has to do with industry, environmental pollution and respect for the environment. I think there are places where there are no such problems.

What are the main red lines that people have already crossed?
destruction of forests, destruction of living things,
melting glaciers, increased air pollution, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm teacher of primary school in my school and every year we make projects about climate change. With these projects we like to with these projects we want to raise the awareness of our students about climate change, the causes, consequences and ways to solve these global problems. this year we are working on 2 different projects related to climate change emphasizing the role of man in these changes and what we can do to prevent these changes.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is this Climate Change different to others?

Because people became more ındustrialized in this age. Human need more energy to use so they try to produce it not only by natural ways but also by the artificial things which are harmful for the world.

Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?

Because, if we do not do anything to prevent it, there won't be a living area for future generations.

How we can refute climate change deniers?
There are so many evidences to show them. For example, melting glaciers, endangered animals, increasing drought... so on.

# data[].attributes.body
How many planets do we need?

We do not have any other planets if we take care this one. We should be more careful while using the sources of the Earth and we should do our best to reduce our footprints.

Is it the same everywhere?
I do not think that it is the same everywhere. The areas which are more industrialized suffer more from this situation.

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?

- Deforestation
- Destroying natural habitats of the animals
- Using the natural sources carelessly

I'm not an environmental activist, but we have to get a role as someone who cares about our collective future.
Let us remind everyone who does not care about or reject climate change, our grandchildren who will inherit a world that is four degrees warmer than ours and who will feel their impact in their lives. They will probably have a lifetime to correct what we do.
To them,
We have to explain that living species are now rapidly disappearing, we can lose 30 to 50 percent of the total species on Earth without remaining thirty years, that climate change is too fast for species to adapt, is more devastating with the effects of other harmful human activities such as overfishing and deforestation. We must explain that uncontrolled climate change will bring great weather changes such as warming and drought, forest fire and extreme weather events such as hurricanes. We need to support activist environmentalist groups and communities to ensure that sustainable development is brought to the highest degree in education and country policies.

How many planets do we need?
This question is really not easy to answer. People use Earth resources more and more every day and we spend it in our everyday life. Population is increasing every day and we use all that we can to survive not thinking about the capacity of our planet.

Is it the same everywhere?
In my community, I think people become more ecologycal friendly and aware. We recycle paper, glass, plastic and take care of the waste. So, I think that this can help our environment and Earth. We can do it with small steps and save the planet.

Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?
Spending too much water, air polution, not taking enogh care about climate change on political level and I think it is terrible to see the videos about the ice melting on Arctic and poles.

My school is international eco school and we implement a lot of eco projects and activities in national and international level. So, we make difference and are willing to teach other how to be more ecologycal aware in everyday life.

My school is enlisted as European Eco school, and has a green flag for years, I think that three years ago it was awarded diamond plaque. It means that we are taking care of environmental awareness and bringing up children as environmentally responsible individuals. It is not connected to any NGO locally, to be honest, I don't think there is any.
But on national levelwe are in contact with the NGO "Lijepa naša" whose programme covers activities of International Eco- schools in Croatia.
Educational authorities give us instructions to raise environmental awarnes, participate in eco-friendly activities and different projects on national and local levels.

Day 3

Climate change is different from others because it affects everyone and the consequences are unpredictable. We cannot foresee what greenhouse effect may cause  and which part of the globe will be hit by some disaster. We are apt to close our eyes and believe that consequences of climate change will not affect the area where we live,  that everything happens far away., and if so, we can continue to be selfish.
It seems humans haven't learned anything from the past.
But climate change indirectly causes famine and poverty, that's why it is high time to become more concerned about it.
It is not difficult to refute climate change denier, just show them the temperature records of any place in the world in last 50 years. There are many of us who still remember white Christmases in Europe, but we are also aware that there was no white Christmas recently.

Day 2
It doesn't matter how many planets we actually need because the truth is that we have this only one which we live on. The problem is that we do't care that this planet and its limits.
I think that situation is not the same evrywhere, we know that less urbanized areas have less human footprints, but nevertheless, the consequencess are felt in all part of our plannet.
The red line has been crossed many times and the damage cannot be fixed.

I have no contact with environmental associations. In our school, some teachers carry out projects related to nature, climate change and pollution, but we are not working in synergy at school level, at the moment. As a referent of the Etwinning platform in my school, I am currently involving my colleagues through a series of events. The second step will be to devise a series of projects together on the goals of the 2030 agenda.

I have read in numerous researches that scientists have, in their response to permanent and very often toxic public challenges, over-emphasized scientific uncertainty, and have thus allowed opponents claims to affect how they themselves speak.

Furthermore, people prefer to bet on known rather than unknown probabilities, In the context of climate change, political decisions inevitably involve options with uncertain outcomes. The “doing something about climate change” options appear burdened with unknown probabilities- Secondly, people generally have a strong preference for the current state of affairs over change, This, along with the well-documented tendency to discount future losses so they seem less pertinent than immediate costs further inhibits people's appetite for action. At a political level this relative difficulty of “making something happen” and “leaving things as they are” can be seen in almost every country. I agree with Fernando’s main points about positive lobbying in regards to scientific uncertainties. As a teacher, all I can do is to encourage my students to develop their critical thinking skills and awareness of major environmental issues, as well as the necessity of individual engagement of each and everyone of us. We joined the Globe project some two years ago, and I think it can be a great first-hand experience for our students.  We also started a project with the locala community to plant trees around the city swiiming pool.

How many planets do we need?
Our Source of Life is nature, everything. .
It is written that Biodiversity in Resources fell 30 percent globally between 1970 and 2008 and this decline reaches 60 percent in tropical regions. The demand for natural resources has doubled since 1966.

Currently, we use resources equivalent to 1.7 planets to sustain our operations. If the forecasts are continued in the same way, we will need two planets in 2030 to meet our annual demand.

Is it the same everywhere?
High-income countries' footprints are five times higher than low-income countries.
Areas with high biological diversity; It performs important ecosystem services such as carbon storage, providing firewood, fresh water circulation and creating fish reserves.
The loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services further affects the poorest part of the world whose lives are directly linked to these services.

Why is this Climate Change different to others?
Some people suffer more than others because of the climate change, but we have only one planet, and we have to protect it for our children.

Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?
Is easier to prevent than to reverse the climate change, so we, as teachers, we have the mission to teach our students how to protect Earth for a good future.

How we can refute climate change deniers?
Environmental problems and biodiversity loss, pollution and weather changes are visible, you can't denies.

Do you have any contact with an Environmental group or NGO? Which one?
I’m a member of TEMA Foundation (The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats) founded in 1992 with the mission to create effective and conscious public opinion on environmental problems, specifically soil erosion, deforestation, desertification, climate change and biodiversity loss.

-Increase awareness of environmental problems; engage in capacity building for their solution.

-Promote protection of natural habitats and ecosystem conservation of water resources and vegetative  cover of the soil, sustainable use of agricultural lands and rangelands.

-Support establishment of national policies friendly to the protection of biodiversity, sustainable use of lands and rational management of water resources.

-Develop models for action to combat soil erosion in impoverished rural areas of Turkey and inspire the implementation of similar models in other parts of the country.

-Establish the necessary organization and legislation with the support of volunteers in order to achieve the goal of stopping soil erosion  are some of TEMA’s objectives

To fulfill its mission, TEMA operates at local, national and international level. It implements educational activities, organizes awareness raising events and campaigns for community mobilization and empowerment. It implements model projects of various scale and intervenes on government policies for proper environmental protection and conducts legal activities, both by legislation drafting and through its lawsuits. While actively influencing and accelerating the processes at local and national level, through its strong international links, TEMA follows the international agenda and links the global perspective to local and national one.

2.Does your Educational Authority give information and advice to your school? In what way?

There are some campigns regularly organized by ministry of agriculture and forestry such as planting tress. There are also local authorities orginizing events for environment. Our school has the policy of Zero Waste which is also supported by the ministry of education. We joined in this campaign for Save Environment with 3R’s etwinning Project activity.Also we promised to keep the water clean for the Zero Waste Blue Project which aims at waste free seas.

I think there are polations that suffer more than others from climate change and populations who, while not suffering from it personally, see its consequences in the environment that surrounds them. Unfortunately, no instruction book is given to people who are impoverished and exterminated by climate change. These populations will suffer more and more and only a few will save themselves and reproduce, mixing with other nearby populations. Climate change affects the entire Earth and its average temperature which shows no sign of decreasing, creates consequences that are not the same for everyone, but depend on the position on the Earth's sphere. The United Nations is progressively taking an interest in the problem because it has perceived its destructive entity stronger than any war between populations and stronger than the phenomenon of extinction of the various animal species. There is growing talk of an environmental disaster that is difficult to control over the coming decades.

Why is this Climate Change different to others?
Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?
How we can refute climate change deniers?
The global climate is changing faster now than it has at any point in the past 2,000 years.That's the conclusion of a trio of papers published July 24 in the journals Nature and Nature Geoscience that examined the global climate over the past two millennia. The researchers showed that none of the past fluctuations — that is, not the Little Ice Age, the warm period known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly or any other famous shift — had the global reach that modern climate change is having. Past fluctuations tended to be localized, affecting primarily one region at a time. Modern climate change, by contrast, is messing with the entire world.
"Temperatures did not rise and fall everywhere in step (in the past)," editors wrote in an accompanying opinion piece in Nature Geoscience. "Specifically, early cool or warm intervals that lasted for centuries peaked at different times in different regions."

The global warming that’s changing our climate is already having dire consequences. In just the past few decades:-rising temperatures have worsened extreme weather events, -Chunks of ice in the Antarctic have broken apart,-wildfire seasons are months longer, -Coral reefs have been bleached of their colors-mosquitoes are expanding their territory, able to spread disease,- A warmer world — even by a half-degree Celsius — has more evaporation, leading to more water in the atmosphere. Such changing conditions put our agriculture, health, water supply and more at risk.

We can refute the climate change deniers with robust scientific facts.

I'm not officially member of an environmental group but I follow some organizations like TEMA in Turkey and Greenpeace. I supported and made donations for some of the campaigns. Our National Authority organizes campaigns as well in order to inform students and develop an awareness. They prepare posters and leads competitions like designing a poster, drawing pictures or writing compositions. Of course all of them aim to attract attention on environmental issues.
This climate change is different because we are approaching the drastic results rapidly. When we compare the population with natural resources, it is inevitable to meet with scary scenerios. That's why we are so concerned with the subject. We should change the way we live or our future will change forever in a way that we won't be able to save it...

How many planets do we need?
Is it the same everywhere?
Which are the main red lines that human beings have already crossed?
We have only one planet. There is no planet B. It is really difficult to supply the human limitless needs with the limited resources. So, we should take necessary precautions as soon as possible otherwise there will be no place to live. It is also important to take the precautions with a global collaboration. We should be a global citizen because of the butterfly effect. In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. Given this in mind, nothing you do, however small it is, has a lot of consequences and this consequences will also be an another reason for something different in your surroundings. We are dependent to each other. 
Accoding to the Global Footprint Network’s Ecological Footprint calculator results, it's obvious that Americans consume more, on average, than the people of less developed countries. But the claim that four Earths would be needed if everyone lived like Americans is still a striking one. This is really shocking and terrible. 
We should stop to be selfish. We should care the World we are in otherwise it wont give us a place to breathe.

there is

Within the school there is a volunteer work committee and another committee called Imprint of Goodness. These are two committees concerned with the environment

these commitees awareness students and make recycling things in the school and make project called together toward cleanest environment makes and

It works leaflets, distributes rows and brochures all urging concern for the environment

# data[].attributes.body
There is an environmental group named TEMA in our country. We and our children are members. With this organization, awareness studies and trainings are organized in schools and the environment. Projects for recycling are supported in our environmentally conscious schools. Students are asked to classify the waste. Zero waste project is implemented for recycling. Climate change affects all living things on the planet. We see its effect in many areas from the food chain to human health. Everyone should be aware that we are experiencing climate change now. Therefore, you are anxious for those who do not care. Everyone should participate in actions all together for climate change.

1.Do you have any contact with an Environmental group or NGO? Which one?
I’m a member of TEMA Foundation which was founded in 1992 to fight against erosion and to protect our natural assets.

2.Does your Educational Authority give information and advice to your school? In what way?

I have joined in two eTwinning projects related to environmental issues and my Educational Authority always supports us.

On November 11, 2019, at 11.11 a.m., the General Directorate of Forestry of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry coordinated the planting of 11 million saplings at 2023 points in 81 provinces in a space of three hours in order to compensate the damage done by recent forest fires in Turkey’s coastal provinces and to raise awareness for the nvironment.
We joined in this campaign for Save Environment with 3R’s etwinning Project activity.Also we promised to keep the water clean for the Zero Waste Blue Project which aims at waste free seas.

I calculated the ecological footprint and the result was catastrophic.  because it takes two planets.  I presented this activity to the students and they did the same calculation.  The results were disastrous, as we need two planets.  It was a topic of debate and how to change our behavior.

Because its direct and indirect consequences are serious.Not only it causes extremely weather events,but also affects humans and our environment.

2.Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?

Because it affects humans and our environment  causing hunger, water crises,health risks,loss of biodiversity,ocean acidification,cost for society and economy

3.How can we refute climate change deniers?

We can refute climate change deniers  fighting  against climate change to preserve Earth for the future generations.

We need one planet .This planet is very rich and beautiful.It has all the conditions for people to live but people are obliged to take care of it.All the negative effects happen because of us, people who are ignorant and don't take it seriously. We should care about our planet as we care and love our house.
No, it's not the same everywhere.It's good that our planet is so different regarding nature and it has so much variety.We need to adapt to its living conditions and also adapt our works and our daily life activity.
The main problems that himans have already crossed : animals leaving their natural habitats in searching for food coming to towns, villages; pollutions ( phonic ,air, waters ) ; illegal hunting; not recycling properly; cutting forests;constructions in nature etc.

Land surfaces are heating faster than the ocean surface, leading to heat waves, wildfires, and the expasion of deserts. Increasing atmospheric energy and rates of evaporation are causing more intense storms and weather extremes, damaging infrastructure and agriculture. Surface temperature increases are greatest in the Artic sea

I don't have any contact with environmental groups. At my school, some od students and I do some informative activities and events to raise awareness of the students and the other people. We plant trees, use recycling bins to recycle papers, plastic and batteries, use recycling bags, reduce using electricity if it is unnecessary.

Climate change is the greatest environmental threat of the 21st century. The consequences are many and transversal to various areas of society: economic, social and environmental.
All of us, without exception, are being affected by this issue.

Climate change has always existed but in the last century, it has been very fast and if we do not take drastic measures it will be even worse.

My school has often been recognised as an eco-friendly school and is an Eco-School, which means that sometimes we have access to sessions concerning the environment and sustainability. We’re not, however, affiliated to any NGO, only to local Heritage entities which also promote some awareness sessions.

In Portugal, our Educational Authority doesn’t provide any official school support on environmental issues. It doesn’t mean though that we can’t ask for information.

our educational authority is aware that pupils are main actors to change their behaviours towards protecting our planet and keeping our environmental clean.
the administration always present to pupils many  competitons concerning stopping pollution,water waste to raise awereness

The change in climate, the rise in global temperature and the depletion of energy resources affects anyone who lives in the economically developed world! This problem affects not only Greta Thunberg and her peers, but all of us, even if they are already old. Unfortunately, Earth can no longer cope with any damage. Humanity must find solutions to pollution and provide for the enormous increase in the human population and the loss of biodiversity.

1)Do you have contact with an environmental group or NGO?Which one?

I have contact with TEMA foundation.Sometimes we do volunteer work such as planting trees.And sometimes the experts from TEMA come to schools and make presentations about protecting environment.We have a national Project “Zero Waste” which supports recycling,reusing and reducing.

2)Does your educational authority give advice and information to your school?In what way?

Yes,our educational authority give information and advice to all schools in Turkey.Especially they really care about Zero Waste Project.And there is a campaign for all schools about taking “White Flag”.If your school is clean you can get White Flag.My school has got a White Flag and we support Zero Waste Project.

Climate change is not a matter of place or time, it’s a universal responsibility. Since industrial revolution, wealth/ well being of people increased (health care, economics, employment et cetera). But we havo to a pay a price in a kind of way. Fossil fuels have created great opportunities in industry and employment, but it’s bad for global warming. We could say let’s produce more wind mills/ solar panels. But people also have to understand that building those kinds of alternative methods requires a lot of resources too. When you want to take a stand in climate change, you have to see everything in the right perspective. People really have to be informed and search for balance in information. I think teachers have a great role in teaching students how to look at information and recognise right and fake news!

This ‘climate change’ is different, because we have much mora access to information. Nevertheless, we have to deal with this ‘easy access to information’ in a clever way. Fake news is dangerous and can demotivate good will of people to contribute in solutions for climate change. I think it’s very important that people have information ( in a balanced way) to see climate change/climate problems in the right perspective. Instead of being optimistic or pessimistic, let’s be realistic! We can not deny climate change, but instead of complaining, let’s do something ( but first of all let’s get informed in a balanced way). We should believe in small actions ( instead of being frustrated in failed governmental or international ideas). Climate change is a responsability for each and everyone!

Our school in Belgium is supported by what we call ‘MOS’ (Environment at School, in Duch: Milieu op School). It’s a collaboration between the Flemish department of environment , the Flemish provinces and de Flemish community commission.  They focus on student participation: each action requires involvement of students. The whole school team ( school principal, staff (teachers and maintance personnel) are collaborating to share a ‘environmental vision’ at our school. They also support us to work together with the neighborhood, local governments, ngo’s. MOS supports our school in actions, but also in learning process. If you achieve results, you can obtain labels, like the Green Flag in your school. In two years, you can obtain ‘Eco School Label’.

Why is this Climate Change different to others?
I believe most countries don't pay much attention to this serious problem because they thing in first place about economical conditions whuch may be altered if we start looking versus a safe and green environment for humankind and above try to preserve what is left of natural beauties.
Why are we so concerned about Climate Change?
I'm concerned of living in cleaner world for me and future generations even if it means to compromise on economical conditions because will permit us first of to live longer and disease free, which is the main point of living well, since we only have one life to live.

In recent years, issues related to the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity have become central to the environmental agenda of the main international and national institutions. It is important to educate in biodiversity from the first school levels. For example, we could organize educational workshops on local biodiversity, to promote knowledge of nature and the assumption by students of conservation and protection behaviors. It would be desirable to also involve their families who, by supporting their children in this process, would contribute to their greater awareness.
