FACTOR MAPS OF LOWERING CARBON FOOTPRINT IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Factor maps were created in each partner country prior to drafting this report, with the aim of pinpointing factors that could greatly diminish the carbon footprint of educational establishments.

Nature Class

Results

The factors that were ranked as priority 1 or 2 by all countries include:

 

  • Need for climate change education to make students understand the importance of carbon neutrality;

  • Use of renewable energy (e.g., LED light bulbs);

  • Increasing awareness of carbon neutrality for all.

​

Other factors that the schools overall prioritised coincide with these three factors. Indeed, the need to reduce energy costs joins the use of renewable energy, which is often a way to reduce energy costs in short to medium term. The factor "Environmental education for teachers and educational staff" is linked to increasing awareness of carbon neutrality for all.
