Schools on the road to climate neutrality - Visions 2045
Schools have a special role to play in addressing and adapting to climate change as energy consumers and significant emitters of CO2. Schools in Zamość and Minsk Mazowiecki outlined their roadmaps to climate neutrality in a vision workshop during last school year, and today they are implementing selected measures to reduce their carbon footprint! It is important that they are not left to their own devices in these ambitious endeavours, as the transformation towards a climate-neutral future is not possible without the broad involvement of stakeholders - from individuals to companies to the national and global level.
