The Education for Climate Coalition is a flagship initiative of the European Education Area and the Green Deal hosted by the European Commission. As a community of practice, it enriches both the Council recommendation on learning for the green transition and sustainable development and the European sustainability competence framework (GreenComp) for acting on education for climate challenges on the ground. It mobilises the education and training community to work towards achieving a climate-neutral and sustainable Union. It seeks to do so by upscaling, supporting and promoting co-created actions around 5 co-innovation areas: training teachers, bridging education with science, developing green skills and competences, raising awareness, and changing behaviours. With the operational phase of the Education for Climate Coalition launching in 2023, the action focus was on (1) maintaining and engaging a purpose-driven community, (2) providing a robust, user-friendly community platform interlinking people and knowledge, and (3) connecting internal and external stakeholders via interactive events and outreach efforts. This report presents a synthesis of that work for community accountability.
