AND
Summary of the project
The adverse impacts of human induced climate change are undoubtedly are the last
few years the major concern for national governments, multilateral institutions, mass
media and the civil society. According to the latest 4th Assessment Report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the international community ought to
take measures in order to stabilize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and keep the
temperature’s rise below the threshold of 2 Celsius. However, even the most efficient
measures are decided in order to mitigate greenhouse emissions, still the climate
change impacts will affect us for the next 50 years. According to the European
Union’s stats a 50cm sea level rise will cause 19.000 km² of land permanently lost,
1,4 million people flooded each year and overall costs approximately 18 billion Euros
per year. However if adaptation measures are implemented, the land lost will be
reduced only to 1.000 km² and damages to 1 billion Euros annually. Therefore it is
more rational to focus on the adaptation measures and policies so as to be prepared for
the forthcoming climate shocks. European coastal areas such us the Mediterranean
Sea is according to the scientific community one of the most vulnerable regions to
climate change. Thus local communities in the coastal areas should be educated and
trained in order to get prepared and adapt to the new state of environment that will
make its presence in the next decade. The accomplishment of the proposed project
depends on the development of synergies among different European partners in order
to exchange knowledge, scientific expertise and best practices.
Through this project we are going to apply lifelong learning methods to
environmental education.
