Education, find out more about helping the planet
Environmental concerns, research on climate change and the need to protect biodiversity are now fully recognised in schools and universities, with many offering qualifications in this area as the world adapts to the challenges ahead. Our current energy use is unsustainable, plastic waste is endangering our ecosystem, rainforests are being lost and we are witnessing a wave of extinctions. We need to find sustainable and viable solutions. There has never been a more important time to adopt greener lifestyles and promote this through our education system.
You can find out more about climate change, the important role of the rainforests, the impact of the growing human population and ways of recycling by visiting the relevant section in our directory.
