Increasing average temperatures in the Mediterranean mean that the global climate crisis is high on the agenda. Heatwaves and droughts are common, and the risk of forest fires is an ongoing threat. The impact of these heat waves and air pollution also has a human factor which increases the likelihood of respiratory problems in the local population.
On top of this, sea levels are rising, leading to flooding and coastal erosion. So, educating communities which live in coastal communities about climate change is vital, so that they understand how to be responsible citizens, sensitive to the protection of the seas, and the ecological balance and cultural heritage of the area.
Focusing on the link between environmental issues and human activity, the project educates school students about environmental sustainability and sustainable tourism through training, workshops, and visits to natural resources.
