06 September 2022

This article considers how education systems can best equip youth with the skills needed to be environmentally responsible today and to contribute to the green transition more long term.

Key points:

– Nearly 80% of young people report being aware of climate change and global warming. But while they are engaged they are less likely to participate in collective activities aimed at promoting environmental protection.
– Young people need to develop scientific skills, digital skills, financial literacy and sustainability competences to be ready for the green transition.
– A whole-school and interdisciplinary approach including students, teachers, families and learning can help to create a cultural shift towards a more sustainable future.
