3. February 2021Online exchange aims to gather diverse mindsets and factual information on the most crucial period of Climate Action.
This interactive online exchange aims to gather diverse mindsets and factual information on the most crucial period of Climate Action. Following the recent trend of the number of people at Climate Protests and people engaging in Climate Action, we can expect a movement that triggers bold behavior and policy change by 2030.
To visualize this prediction, we invite visionary climate scientists both young and old, as well as shapers of this sustainability transition from the Central-European region.
Speakers:
– dr. Blaž Gasparini, researcher at the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Vienna
– Lucija Tacer, youth UN delegate for Slovenia

Factfulness: What to expect from the coming decade for Climate Action?
Predictions & real examples: Climate impacts experienced by Europeans today
17. February 2021Climate change scenarios for 2030 and 2050 might seem very distant and abstract, while there are climate impacts experienced in society and nature already today. We aim to draw connections between climate and meteorological observations, as well as impacts experienced by individuals.
This interactive exchange will feature Nobel Peace Prize winning climatologist, dr. Lučka Kajfež Bogataj from Slovenia with whom we will link predictions to real examples. To continue the engagement started in the previous episode of the Sustainaware webinar series, we are looking forward to feeding the discussion from the contributions of the audience.

Energy awareness: Where does your electricity come from?
3. March 2021Electricity comes from different sources and we are often unaware of how the energy mix is built up. In this webinar we are going to explore how we can build understanding among young audiences about the energy system and energy-services supplied to end-users. Our discussion will feature expertise from Hungary’s renewable energy sector and the national energy grid operator.

Plug & Play: An Education Toolkit for Climate Action
17. March 2021What does it take to empower society for the sustainability transition? Planting the seeds for change through education is key among other things. To accelerate this shift, the Sustainaware project is producing a competence model that educators can use to inspire young minds for climate action. To realize this, we are involving state actors, as well as civil society associations and this webinar will feature a dialogue between Hungarian stakeholders in support for the sustainability transition.

Online debate on “A climate neutral Europe by 2050: EU impulse and national action”
26. March 2021It is the pleasure of the Climate Recon 2050 platform to invite you to join an online debate with the European Commission and national government experts, discussing the impact of the climate neutrality target on EU climate policy and national planning processes.
Fifteen months ago, EU heads of state and government agreed on a new long-term climate policy goal for the EU: to become climate neutral by 2050. This is also the central objective giving guidance to the European Green Deal, and it is about to become legally binding through the EU climate law. It makes the EU the first regional bloc to have committed to going to “net zero” emissions. Arguably, the move to a higher 2030 emissions reduction goal of 55%, adopted a few weeks ago, is owed to this strengthened climate ambition.
This virtual expert exchange will be centered around the following guiding questions:
To discuss these and other questions, we invite you to join us for a debate with key experts, bringing together both EU level perspective and the national implementation perspective:
The event will be live-streamed via Zoom, where pre-registered participants will be able to interact and ask questions directly to the panel.
Event date: 26 March, 10:00 – 11:30

Climate education on the rise – Experiences in introducing climate change in Bulgarian and Lithuanian school curricula
20. April 2021Education is an essential factor in the global fight against climate change. The international community has recognized the importance of climate education and has committed to “developing and implementing education and awareness programs on climate change and its impacts”, at national and international levels (Article 6 of the UNFCCC as well as Article 12 of the Paris Agreement). But how can these commitments and programs be put into practice? The web seminar will highlight challenges and opportunities and discuss the different experiences of introducing climate change into curricula in Bulgaria and Lithuania.
In this webseminar, representatives of the EUKI Projects “Together for Sustainable School” and “Towards introduction of Climate Action in the Educational Curriculum of Bulgarian Schools” will discuss their different experiences of introducing climate change into the curricula in Bulgaria and Lithuania.
The web seminar takes place on 20th April 2021 – 10:00-11:00 CET, via MS Teams
