  Climate change makes sustainable development an urgent priority. Sustainable development is impossible without learning. This project provides an educational platform for it using a range of practical examples that can benefit young people and youth workers.
  The main outcomes of the project are:
  - Increased competences of youth workers and youth leaders in addressing environmental issues
  - Increased capacity of youth organisations and youth groups in tackling environmental issues and climate change
  - Increased awareness of the opportunities offered by the YiA Programme to young people
  - Knowledge of EU Sustainable Development Strategy
  - Knowledge of educational tools offered by the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
  - Increased quality of youth projects on sustainable development, including local projects and European initiatives both within Youth in Action and outside it
