Abstract

The Erasmus + project Climademy aims at developing and establishing a network and community of practice in order to establish innovative strategies and programs for teacher education on climate change and its impacts. As a teacher academy will provide educational material aimed at the anthropogenic drivers of climate change, its impacts as well as measures for sustainability. The academy will establish a common virtual platform (CLAUDI) and four national hubs in different countries. In the projects three-year period 200 trainees across Europe will implement the academy’s activities through online, physical and blended training. These trainees will act the basis for the development of a growing network and distribute its aims.
