In 2018 we had the 2nd hottest summer since the the start of the data collection of weather in Germany 1881. The four warmest years were the years 2016, 2017, 2015 and 2014. The UN Climate Conference in Paris in 2015 declared that the nations who signed the contract are willing to reduce the increase of global warming under 2% if possible below 1,5%. The target is to achieve a balance between the production of green house gases and the consumption of CO2 for example by forests. Unfortunately the USA, one of the main producers of CO2 have left the conference and a country like Germany, who has played a leading role has to admit that it will not be able to achieve the goals set in Paris. Greenpeace the BUND and WWF have reacted with disappointment when the results of the Katowice climate summit had been published. The summit said farewell to the goal of reducing the increase below 1.5%. Besides all these obstacles there is also a new political player on the field. Extreme right wing parties in Europe and the current US administration simply deny global warming and climate change.We feel that we as European citizens and we, as schools, responsible for the education of the following generations, should increase our efforts in rising the awareness of our students, teachers, staff and parents for the dangers of Global Warming and Climate Change.The target of our project is to determine the ecological footprints of our schools` community and develop measures to reduce our ecological footprints within our communities and maybe meet the targets The UN Climate Conference or hopefully be even better.We chose the following participants. Cyprus, Azores, Iceland and La Reunion.We wanted to have participants who represented many climate zones which again represent different problems of climate change with a different degree of urgency. We expect to deal with different points of view and will hopefully experience different approaches to tackle the problem of climate change.Germany as an important industrial nation will deal with the reduction of CO2-Emission. So we would like to develop methods for reducing or neutralising CO2-Effects, such as optimizing nutrition, individual transports and their alternatives, insulation and saving-energy. More than that we would like to implement alternatives in ICT-sector. For example we would like to implement the eco-friendly ECOSIA-search engine and browser as a standard for all schools participating. Cyprus will be our IT experts responsible for support, maintenance and dissemination. Being an island with mediterranean-continental climate they become a more and more arid location. Therfefore they will be our experts on water management.The Portuguese school is responsible for finding the adequate way of measuring our eco-footprints. They should present it in the first meeting, so all partners can adapt this tool in order to have a common and comparative gauge. Furthermore they will develop protocol-rules for behaviour for the mobilities together with Cyprus. They will be our experts on climate change and bio diversity.Because La Reunion has to deal with (sea-)waste-problems and pollution, the French partners are responsible for waste management (reduction, avoidance, and recycling-/upcycling methods). As La Reunion is the only partner from the southern hemisphere, we expect to get a different point of view on problems like rising sea levels etc.Icland` has experience with planting actions. They will be responsible for planting processes and its effects on climate change.Being a nation which is affected by melting glaciers, they are the experts for global warming and its affect on bio diversity. Having an economy relying on fishing industry they should work on the effects on the biosphere of the North Atlantic.Activities and methodsmobilities with interdisciplianry activites. Planting actions, excursions, examination and modification of curricula and implement environment friendly procedures in our school communities. Gardening, planting actions, insulating, production of necessary devices etc. will emphasize the parctical work in this project.Results and long term impactThe a.m. objectives will lead to a sustainable investment in the quality and efficiency of our school community as we will implement the progresses we make in our school programme and/ or our curricula.It seems to us self-evident, that the involvement in this project will lead to an improvement of skills and key competences like improvement of language skills, social competences in working together in an international environment to improve the ecological footprint of the school community. The very specific work on the project, which is supposed to involve the school community, political stakeholders and other external potential partners such as businesses or the municipality, representatives from the media etc. will lead to more civic engagement and responsible citizenship.
