Description

As climate change increasingly affects ecosystems, economies, and societies, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to understand and respond to these challenges is essential. The institutionalization of environmental education in Latvian schools—particularly in rural areas—plays a critical role in shaping sustainable and liveable futures. As rural communities face complex transitions due to climate change, demographic shifts, and economic restructuring, schools become key agents of transformation
