Imagine…
A hundred years from now human life on earth is sustainable and in balance with the biosphere. How was this achieved by mankind? Imagine that something revolutionary happens in our time that will eventually save our planet. What was this great change?
We want you to imagine you live in the future and tell people the story on how the battle against climate change was finally won.

GREEEN Network members will start organising a number of events on climate change related topics. We are interested in initiating a European exchange among GREEEN network members and external stakeholders, and to engage in dialogue with experts and interested stakeholders from the field. The events address both GREEEN partners and other stakeholders interested in Climate Change Education (CCE).

GREEEN Kick-off meeting in Göttingen
The GREEEN network partners met for the first time in January 2014. The kick-off meeting aimed at getting to know to each other and at creating a common work basis. The network receives funding for three years. The ultimate aim is to establish a solid basis for a sustainable network that is open for new partners at European level.
For this purpose, GREEEN intends to organise a number of events, among others training days, webinars, the GREEEN award, in order to make GREEEN visible at a European level, and to provide interesting products and services that attract new partners. One of the products will be a collection of good practices and teaching and learning strategies on climate change education.
As a starting point, partners in the kick-off meeting identified challenges they are confronted with in science education as well as possible improvements in order to create a basis, on which to start gathering existing practice and generating new approaches in Climate Change Education.
The results of this discussion are visualised in the tagcloud: 
It was agreed that it is often hard to motivate students in science education. An improvement was seen in making science education more practical and applicable to real life situations. Pratical inputs and real life topics that are of interest for the students seem a solution. Also an exchange with other schools, businesses and other fields was mentioned as a possible improvement. Learning outside the school as well as promoting self-directed learning were two methods that were considered as interesting ways to motivate students. The two-day meeting was far too short to go into depth with the topic. Thus the group split into three work groups that will work on the following topics:
The first results are expected in March.
GREEEN – Green Environment Education European Network
European Network for Climate Change Education in Schools
GREEEN builds on the methodology successfully experienced in the previous EU-funded projects JEM! that implemented a comprehensive environmental management system according to EMAS and CLIMES that implemented a climate-friendly management system in European schools based on a blended learning concept.
GREEEN seeks to promote the effective integration of climate change education into educational programmes and school curricula (climate literacy), on the one hand, and to promote creativity in science education, making science education more tangible, innovative and attractive to the youngest generation through a centrally important issue.
GREEEN is consisting of a multi-stakeholder partnership of organisations from ten countries (DE, AT, IT, HU, SE, LV, LT, TR, ES and GR), namely schools, universities, education institutes, NGO’s and a county government.
Apart from setting-up a sustainable European network, GREEEN aims to:
This website provides some actions taken for a climate-friendly environment. These projects can lead students to have an idea about what can be done to prevent or mitigate climate change. There is a blog including many topics about climate change and related issues where people share their opinions and discuss.

This year the partner school (Casady High School at Atlanta) has prepared a blog (http://casadynaischallenge2020.blogspot.com/) that project members can submit photos, ppt presentations and discussions about climate change and latest news from METU Foundation School.
This document prepared by Kayhan, M. a staff member at Ministry of Environment and Forest and General Directorate of Meteorology. It is about global climate change and its effects in Turkey. There are some data such as showing the changes in the amount of CO2, greenhouse effect, etc.
In this page you can reach what Turkish General Directorate of Meteorology is doing about climate change and its effects. There are many documents you can find related to climate change.
It is official website disseminating projects and provides documents and reports related to climate change

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), provides information about climate change and its effects, also what can be done to struggle with climate change. Many countries including Turkey are involved in this organization. You can reach the projects run over time since WWF has been founded. WWF-Turkey supports sustainable life and carry-on projects to provide it. If you want you can join this organization and participate actively in the projects.
