Council adopts recommendation to stimulate learning for the green transition and sustainable development

Ministers today adopted a recommendation for member states to stimulate and support policies and programmes about learning for the green transition and sustainable development. This is crucial to ensure learners of all ages acquire the knowledge to live more sustainably, obtain the skills needed in a changing labour market and take action for a sustainable future.

Among other things member states are recommended to:

(*) Establish learning for the green transition and sustainable development as one of the priority areas in education and training policies and programmes
(*) Provide learning opportunities in formal, non-formal and informal settings
(*) Support and enhance teaching and learning for the green transition and sustainable development by providing infrastructure, digital tools and resources and building in particular on the new European Competence Framework on Sustainability (GreenComp)
(*) Provide fact-based and accessible information on the climate, environmental and biodiversity crisis and its drivers
(*) Help educators to take part in professional development programmes related to sustainability
